I am a Canadian citizen and my spouse is not. Can my spouse work in Canada?
It depends on the immigration status of your spouse. If your spouse or common-law partner is a permanent resident, they can work in Canada.
If your spouse or common-law partner is in Canada on a temporary resident (visitor) visa, they have to apply for a work permit to be able to work.
Your spouse or common-law partner can apply for a work permit from inside Canada if:
they have a temporary resident permit that is valid for six months or more; or
they have applied for permanent residence under the Spouse or Common-law Partner in Canada – archived class; or
they are eligible to apply for a work permit supported by a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) – an authorization from Employment and Social Development Canada an employer needs to hire a foreign worker; or
they are eligible to apply for a work permit based on an exemption from the LMIA process.

What is an open work permit?
An open work permit is a work permit that is not job-specific. Because it is not job-specific, you will not need the following when you apply for your work permit:
a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) from Employment and Social Development Canada, or
proof that an employer has submitted an offer of employment through the Employer Portal and paid the employer compliance fee
In most cases, you will have to pay the open work permit holder fee at the same time that you pay the work permit fee. Check the fee list for the most up-to-date application fees.
See also the COVID-19 travel restrictions and exemptions for foreign workers to find out how some steps in the application process may be affected.
