𝐓𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐜: Changes in spousal open work permit

The changes restrict eligibility to certain occupations under the TEER 2 and TEER 3 categories.

This policy shift requires foreign workers’ spouses to meet new conditions in order to apply for a work permit.

According to Immigration News Canada (INC), the new guidelines, which took effect on January 21st 2025, focus on ensuring spouses of foreign workers are employed in specific eligible occupations. These changes do not affect previously approved work permits or their renewals.

Eligibility criteria for spousal open work permits

Under the updated policy, spouses of foreign workers will only qualify for the SOWP if the foreign worker is employed in one of the following:

A TEER 0 occupation
A TEER 1 occupation
Certain TEER 2 and TEER 3 occupations

Additionally, the foreign worker must have at least 16 months remaining on their work permit when the SOWP application is submitted.

Before the policy change, spouses could apply for a SOWP regardless of the occupation of the foreign worker. However, the recent changes now limit eligibility to specific job categories.
