To apply for a
Spousal Open Work Permit (SOWP), spouses of international students in specific
programs can qualify. Applicants must submit documents, including proof of
their relationship and their sponsor’s enrollment. Spouses of students in fields
like medicine, engineering, and law are eligible. The permit’s validity will
match the sponsor’s study permit duration. IRCC will soon release further
details about new restrictions on SOWP eligibility.
