sponsoring spouse inside canada

(Kingston,On)

Hi Sharon,

I am Lyn, working here in canada as a foreign worker under live-in caregiver program.

Last June 2010 I filled my Open work permit application also my PR at the same time as single applicant. But last Oct 2010 I got married to my boyfriend in Alberta who's also a foreign worker just like me.

Last month I sent a letter to the CIC to let them know about my change of status.

My Question is ,can I include my husband (ADD-ON) to my application?

If yes, I just wanna know what are those requirements for sponsoring spouse inside canada? and if the CIC approve my open work permit do you think there's a possibility he can also get his open work permit?

Hoping for your quick reply.

Thank you so much
Lyn

Dear Lyn

Thanks for your inquiry (Please note that I am not an immigration officer)

In this guide you can find the instructions about how a live-in caregiver should apply for a permanent residence from within Canada including information about including your family member (spouse) who are living in Canada in your application.

If you still have questions then it is best to contact directly

Hi, Lyn,

I also got married here in Canada to my Temporary foreign worker boyfriend. I submitted my application as a single applicant. What did you do with adding your newly wedded husband to your PR application? Please, let me know as well. It will be highly appreciated.

Thank you!
