Specifically, my query pertains to cases where the PGWP holder is self-employed in an occupation Classified under TEER 0 or 1, or an eligible occupation in TEER 2 oF 3, of the National Occupational Classification (NOC) system. According to the updated eligibility criteria published by IRCC (as of January 21, 2025), spouses or common-law partners of high-skilled workers may apply for an open work permit if the principal applicant meets the following conditions:
* * Holds a valid PGWP or work permit with at least 16 months of validity at the time of the spouse's application; and
« *Is employed or holds a job offer in a high-skilled occupation classified under TEER 0 or 1 (or an eligible occupation in
TEER 2 or 3) However, | have noticed that the guidelines do not explicitly address whether self-employed PGWP holders working in the above-mentioned TEER occupations can support their spouse's application for an open work permit. Could you kindly confirm whether self-employment in such occupations qualifies as "employment" under IRCC’s criteria for spousal open work permits? If additional documentation or eligibility requirements apply in this context, | would greatly appreciate your guidance Thank you in advance for your assistance. | look forward to your response.
