Open Work Permit

Subject: Open Work Permit
 
I have read on numerous sites that when you receive Initial Approval (inland spouse sponsorship) that you can then apply for an open work permit.
Do they send you the forms for the open work permit with your IA, or is there a site link that you can get the forms for an OPEN work permit.. (not the regular work permit for one job that requires HRDC approval)

thanks

Where did you read about that?

If true, the open work permit uses the same standard forms for any work permit (I´ve had an open one before and now a specific employer one). But I´m curious to confirm that you can use an IA as a basis to receive an open work permit.

uhh

it says so on the CIC website, and numerous people have gotten work permits once receiving Initial Approval. I need the link or form or whatever.

that´s true but only for family class applicants after the approval in principle.

It´s not IA but AIP. You get the letter teling you you can apply for an open work permit. You go to the CIC´s website and download the forms for ´change/extend status in Canada´ and then send that off to Vegreville with I think $150 (!) and a copy of the AIP. As ´reason for extension´ just put ´I´ve got AIP and am waiting for full PR´.

You can actually apply for an open work permit before you get AIP. I did it about a month before I got AIP (fed up of waiting around as it takes about 50 days to process the open work permit after you get AIP!) and got the work permit a week after I got AIP. Even better, send the application in WITH your PR forms and ask for both to be processed at the same time so you get the permit with the AIP.

I know, they don´t tell you this, it´s sneaky but certainly possible!

Can someone provide me more details on this issue. I mean is there a way of getting work permit while your application (in-canada spouse sponsorship) is in process? Where can I find that form for getting OPEN WORK PERMIT. And what is AIP? Any help will be appreciated.

NO! You cannot get a work permit before you get AIP! You can only apply for one. And I told you that the form is on the CIC website for ´extend or change your status in Canada´. AIP Is, as a previous poster said, Approval in Principle. Geez, do you want me to Dl the forms and fill them out for you?
