The Spousal Work Permit program, a component of the Express Entry visa system in Canada, enables spouses or common-law partners of skilled workers or international students who hold a valid Canadian work or study permit to also work in Canada. This program recognizes the importance of supporting families and promoting integration into Canadian society. Spouses and partners can apply for an open work permit, allowing them to work for any Canadian employer without needing a confirmed job offer. This initiative not only fosters family unity but also provides valuable opportunities for spouses to contribute to the household income and gain Canadian work experience. By facilitating the employment of spouses, Canada aims to attract and retain skilled workers by offering comprehensive support for their families’ well-being and integration into Canadian communities.
