If a foreign national’s application for a work permit is approved, they will be given an open work permit, which allows them to work for several employers in any part of Canada while their application for permanent residency is being processed or while their spouse is in good standing. Depending on the applicant’s status in Canada or the stage of their application for permanent residency, there are differences in the application process for the open work permit through spousal sponsorship. Without the necessary permits, foreign nationals are not permitted to work in Canada. It is illegal to work in Canada in any capacity without the required work permit, and doing so could compromise your ability to get immigration in the future for Spouse Open Work Permit Refusal.
