Work permit - apply inside or outside Canada?
My partner is has secured a medical fellowship at sick kids in Toronto for 1 year. I am hoping to go with him on a spouse visa.
my question is should I apply for a work permit before I go, or wait and apply once I’m in Canada? My concern is that it will take months to get one if I wait until I’m in Canada to apply, and will be arranging to come back before I’ve got it! Or is it much easier to get one from inside Canada rather than start the process now from the UK? any help on this much appreciated, as I just don’t know where to start! thank you |
Re: Work permit - apply inside or outside Canada?
Just checking, but you’re married now? IIRC you couldn’t get a spousal permit previously as you weren’t married or living together so just checking!
If so, and if his job is one that allows you to get a spousal open work permit (not all do, so it will depend on his visa/job) then you can just get your work permit when you arrive at the airport. You’ll need a few docs (including a copy of his work permit and and your marriage cert). https://britishexpats.com/wiki/TWP_:...o_apply-Canada HTH. |
