Default TWP for me and OSWP for my partner after PNP approval - advice needed

Hi all,

A company in Vancouver has sponsored me with through the BC PNP programme.
I am currently awaiting the PNP decision.

Once I (hopefully) receive the PNP approval, i understand that there are two ways for me to obtain a TWP i.e. at POE or in my country (UK).

My question is:

My partner who is named on the PNP applicaiton will be accompanying me with the aim of obtaining an Open Spousal Work Permit (OSWP). She however is from the Czech Republic. Does she need to obtain the OSWP in the Czech Republic or does she obtain from the UK embassay or can we both simply fly to Canada and obtain my permit and her permit at the POE?

grateful for any guidance on this.

thank you.

Jason.

She needs a visa so is not eligible to apply for a TWP at a port of entry.

If she intends on working she should apply for a work visa. If not intending to work then she requires a visitor visa. She would apply to the consulate that covers her country of residence read this link
