On May 10, 2023, a new policy came into effect to make it easier for foreign nationals and their families who submitted a complete permanent resident application in Canada as a spouse, common-law or conjugal partner to get open work permits.
The old pilot program, which ended on May 9, 2023, no longer applies.
Any pending applications received by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will be processed under this new policy.
Applicants under the open work permit pilot program for permanent residence and in-Canada caregiver applicants and their families under the two caregiver pilots (C90 and C91) are no longer exempt.
They must apply online following the new public policy.

On May 26, 2023, Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), announced new measures to strengthen family reunification and address the labour shortage issue.
The measures include faster processing times, new tools, and an open work permit for spousal and family class applicants.
Additionally, open work permit holders expiring between August 1 and the end of 2023 can extend their permits.
These changes will allow families to be reunited sooner while waiting for permanent residence.
Most of these applications will be processed within 30 days, and specific processing measures will be implemented for spouses and dependents.
So far, the new tools have resulted in a 93% approval rate for applicants.

Ontario lawmakers are finalizing the Working for Workers Act, 2023, which would impose the highest fines in Canada on business owners who withhold the passports of their temporary foreign workers.
Proposed penalties for withholding a foreign national's passport or work permit range from $100,000 to $200,000 for every worker whose rights are violated.
Individuals found guilty of violating the proposed law may face a fine of up to $500,000, up to one year in prison, or both.
In addition, corporations that are convicted may be fined up to $1 million.
