The accompanying partner

The principal applicant's accompanying partner moving to Canada has several options. They may apply for an open work permit to work for any employer, easing the transition and contributing to household income. Alternatively, they can pursue education or training at Canada's reputable institutions, engage in community activities, volunteer, or explore entrepreneurial opportunities. These options help with integration and support the family’s success in Canada. If you want more information about programs you can visit the Family section in Arrival Map.
