TDOT Immigration
If your spouse or common-law partner is a skilled worker or international student in Canada, you may be eligible for an open work permit that authorizes you to work for any Canadian employer. This permit is a lifeline for couples managing immigration together - but eligibility criteria, documentation requirements, and inland versus outland processing rules create real complexity.
We determine whether you qualify for a SOWP based on your partner’s status and stream, advise on whether inland or outland processing is appropriate for your situation, and prepare a complete application with relationship documentation, evidence of your partner’s status, and all supporting materials. We flag any status gaps and advise on timing to ensure you have continuous work authorization from arrival.
