配偶开放式工签 Spouse Open Work Permit (SOWP)
如果你的配偶目前在加拿大工作或学习，或者你的配偶或同居伴侣已经提供担保通过团聚移民递交永久居留权申请，你可能有资格获批开放式工作许可。
配偶担保开放式工签的申请流程，因申请人在加拿大的身份不同或其所处永久居留权申请阶段的不同而异。在没有工作许可的情况下在加拿大任何形式的就业均属非法，并可能危及移民申请。
If your spouse is currently working or studying in Canada, or if you have applied to be sponsored for permanent residence by your spouse or partner in Canada, you may be eligible for an open work permit.
The application procedure for the spousal sponsorship open work permit varies depending on the applicant’s status in Canada or the stage of their permanent residency application.
Engaging in any form of employment in Canada without the proper work permit is unlawful and can jeopardize future immigration applications.

如果配偶或同居伴侣提供担保，我是否可以申请配偶开放式工签 Can I apply for an open work permit if my spouse or partner has applied to sponsor me?
外国公民通过配偶担保团聚移民项目在加拿大境内递交永久居留权申请，既有资格申请配偶担保开放式工签。
- 如果尚未递交配偶担保移民申请：担保申请、永久居留权申请以及开放式工作许可申请，可以通过纸质材料邮寄方式同时进行递交。确保申请中包含上述所有申请的必要文件、支持材料和及缴费证明。申请需提交至位于安大略省密西沙加市的案件处理中心。
- 如果永久居留申请已经递交但尚未获得原则上批准：开放式工签申请可以通过纸质材料邮寄方式递交至位于阿尔伯塔省韦格勒维尔市的案件处理中心。
- 如果永久居留申请已经获得原则上批准：开放式工签申请可以通过线上网上提交申请，也可以通过纸质材料邮寄方式递交至位于阿尔伯塔省韦格勒维尔市的案件处理中心。
原则上批准（AIP）是指申请人的永久居留权申请已被移民部认可为符合要求，但尚未通过医疗体检、安全或背景调查。虽然这意味着移民申请已成功通过前面几个阶段，但在收到「原则上批准」后申请仍有被拒的可能。只有在拥有诸如访客、学生或劳工等加拿大有效身份时，外国公民才能在申请永久居留权的同时递交工作许可申请。如果在加拿大没有有效身份，申请人只有在获得永久居留申请原则上批准后才能递交工作许可申请。
In order to be eligible to apply for a spousal sponsorship open work permit, a foreign national must have applied for permanent residency sponsorship from within Canada through the in Canada stream of the spousal sponsorship program.
- If you have not submitted your sponsorship application: The sponsorship, permanent residence, and open work permit applications may all be submitted together in a single envelope in hard copy. Ensure that all supporting documentation and required proof of payments for all applications are included. The applications should be submitted to the Case Processing Centre in Mississauga (CPC-M), Ontario.
- If your permanent residence application is submitted but has not yet received approval in principle: The open work permit application may be submitted in hard copy to the Case Processing Centre in Vegreville (CPC-V), Alberta.
- If your permanent residence application has been approved in principle: The open work permit application may be submitted online or in hard copy to the Case Processing Centre in Vegreville (CPC-V), Alberta.
Approval in principle (AIP) means that a person’s permanent residence application has been cleared by IRCC as meeting the eligibility requirements, but the application has not yet passed through processing for medical exams and security/background checks. While this means the application has successfully passed through several stages of processing, permanent residency may still be denied after receipt of the AIP.
A foreign national must have valid status in Canada (visitor, student, worker, etc.) in order to submit a work permit application at the same time as their permanent residence application. If an applicant is out of status in Canada, they must wait until their permanent residence application has received approval in principle to submit their work permit application.

配偶开放式工签是否可以延期 Can a spouse open work permit be extended?
配偶开放式工签，与配偶，即主申请人的许可绑定。配偶工签的有效期最长与主申请人持有的许可有效期一致。如果配偶工签到期，申请人需要根据其配偶的许可重新递交申请。
A SOWP is tied to the permit of the spouse, or ‘lead applicant’, and will only be valid for as long as the lead applicant’s permit. If your SOWP expires, you will need to reapply based on your spouse’s permit.

申请人在申请配偶工签时，其受养子女亦可通过申请访客记录，以陪同配偶工签持有人。
备注：Visitor Record，简称VR，也叫访客记录或者我们常说的旅游签延期。 它是一份可让您获得加拿大访客身份并允许您停留更长时间的文件。访客记录并非护照上的签证，因而不能混为一谈。 签证用于出入境加拿大，访客记录用于证明申请人在加拿大有合法停留身份。
While applying for a spousal open work permit, dependent children may also accompany the permit holder by applying for a visitor record.

配偶开放式工签被拒原因 Why was my spouse open work permit refused?
配偶开放式工签的最主要拒签原因之一，是申请人无法证明其与合规配偶的关系。如果你的申请遭拒，请与我们联系以了解更多解决方案。配偶工签的拒签原因还有很多，以下是六个最常见的拒签理由：
- 主申请人居住在加拿大境外：申请人的合规配偶必须居住在加拿大境内，申请人才能递交配偶工签申请。如果主申请人，即提供担保的合规配偶居住在加拿大境外，可能导致申请人的配偶工签被拒。
- 无证据表明申请人的配偶正在就读加拿大指定教育机构：如果申请人作为国际留学生的配偶递交配偶工签申请，合规配偶必须提供足够证据表明其正在加拿大指定教育机构就读，并积极参加课程学习。如无法提供足够充分的支持材料，配偶工签可能遭拒。
- 缺少资金证明：如果主审签证官不相信申请人和其配偶有足够资金支持申请人在加拿大境内的生活，申请可能遭拒。因此申请材料包含财务文件十分必要，促使签证官相信申请人在财务方面的稳定性。
- 缺少工作证明：如果申请人的配偶持有有效工作许可，提供合规配偶加拿大的在职证明文件非常有必要。
- 缺少与母国的紧密联系：申请加拿大临时居民身份时，必须让签证官相信申请人将在批复的合法居住期结束前离境。因此，提供申请人与其母国诸如房产、工作、子女等在内的紧密联系至关重要。如果无法让签证官相信申请人将在签证过期前离境，配偶工签可能遭拒。
- 缺少真实关系证明：由于配偶开放式工作许可，是基于申请人与其合规配偶或同居伴侣的关系。因此，能够提供足够的真实关系证明非常重要。如果签证官不相信申请人与其配偶关系的真实性，配偶工签也可能被拒。
One of the main reasons spousal open work permits are refused is that the applicant is unable to demonstrate sufficient proof of their relationship to their eligible spouse. If your application was refused, contact us to learn more about your options. There are many reasons a spousal open work permit may be rejected. Here are six of the most common reasons:
- Principal applicant is living outside Canada – Your spouse must be living inside Canada on eligible, legal status in order for you to apply for a spousal open work permit. If your spouse lives outside Canada, this may be a reason your application is refused.
- No evidence that your spouse is attending a DLI – If you are applying for a SOWP as the spouse of a student, your spouse will need to provide sufficient evidence that they are studying at a Canadian Designated Learning Institute (DLI) and are actively enrolled in class. Excluding this documentation could result in a refusal.
- Lacking proof of funds – If the officer reviewing your case is not convinced that you and your spouse will have sufficient funds to support your stay in Canada, your application may be refused. For this reason, it is important to include financial documents with your application that will satisfy the officer of your financial stability.
- Missing proof of employment – If you are applying for a SOWP based on your spouse’s employment, it is important to provide documents that support their employment in Canada.
- Insufficient ties to home country– When applying for temporary status in Canada, the officer must be satisfied that you will leave by the end of your authorized stay. For this reason, it is important to include proof of any ties you may have to your home country. If the officer is not convinced that you will leave Canada by the end of your authorized stay, your application may be refused.
- Absence of proof of a genuine relationship – Since the spousal open work permit is based on your relationship to your spouse or common-law partner, it is important to provide sufficient proof of your genuine relationship. If the visa officer is not satisfied that your relationship is genuine, this could be a reason for refusal.
配偶开放式工签被拒应对措施 What happens if my spouse open work permit is refused?
如果申请人的配偶工签被拒并不意味着无法提交新的申请。申请人需要在提供额外信息或支持材料解释原因的情况下，再次递交新的申请。请与我们联系获得帮助，以及了解更多签证移民解决方案。
If your spousal open work permit is refused, you may be eligible to re-apply. You should only re-apply if you can provide additional information or documentation to address the reason or refusal. Contact us to learn more about your options.
访问签证在等待配偶开放式工签审批期间被拒是否可以留在加拿大 Can I stay in Canada if my visitor permit expires while waiting for my SOWP to process?
如果申请人已经递交加拿大境内配偶担保移民和配偶工签，且目前有效的访问许可即将到期，申请人将维持原有访问身份。意味着申请人可以在没有有效许可的情况下，继续合法留在加拿大等待配偶工签的批复。
If you applied for In-Canada sponsorship on a visitor permit that is expiring, and you have applied for a spousal open work permit, you will be on maintained status. This means you can remain in Canada without a valid permit under the same conditions while awaiting a decision on your SOWP application.
配偶开放式工签申请期间分居或离婚如何应对 What happens to my spouse’s open work permit application if my spouse and I separate or divorce?
如果申请人在已经获批配偶工签后与其配偶离婚或结束同居伴侣关系，配偶开放式工作许可不会被撤销。但是如果在申请审理期间终止关系，申请人必须通知移民部更新关系状态并且不再有资格获批配偶工签。
If you and your spouse divorce or your common-law relationship ends after you’ve received your spousal open work permit, your permit will not be revoked. However, if your relationship ends while your application is still processing, you must inform IRCC of your updated relationship status, and will no longer be eligible for a SOWP.
