Want to live and work in Canada while your spouse or partner is already working or studying here? The Spousal Open Work Permit (SOWP) gives you that opportunity. It’s a fantastic way to stay together, support each other, and explore life in Canada—without needing a job offer first.
The Spousal Open Work Permit allows the spouse or common-law partner of certain temporary residents (like skilled workers or international students) to work for any employer in Canada. It’s “open,” meaning no job offer or Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is required. It’s designed to help couples stay together and thrive while in Canada.
You may be eligible if your spouse is:
Working in a skilled job (NOC 0, 1, 2, or 3)
Studying full-time at a recognized post-secondary institution
Applying for permanent residence under the family sponsorship class
