Good day,
The new eligibility requirements for Open Work Permits for Spouse includes this paragraph:
Work permit holders under a free trade agreement (FTA)
Spouses or common-law partners of work permit holders under certain
free trade agreements (FTAs) are eligible for a spousal open work
permit. Be sure to check the FTA you're applying under to see if your
spouse or common-law partner is eligible.
If your spouse or common-law partner isn’t eligible for an OWP
through an FTA, they may still be eligible to apply for an OWP through
this measure.
How do we know which fice trade agreements are eligible for spousal open work permits? Would the spouse ofan Intra-
