Hello,

I am American and so is my legally married spouse. I am a skilled worker applying for a temporary work permit (with my LMO) at the LA consulate. I will be including $150 for my temporary work permit in my application packet.

My spouse is coming to Canada with me and because I am a skilled worker, he qualifies for an open work permit. Do I send the LA office another $150 in my application packet to cover the cost of his open work permit (for a total of $300 for both permits)? Or does he obtain his open work permit at the port of entry and I pay his $150 open work permit fee at the port of entry?

Thank you,

Patty

As US citizens, you may remit fees for his work permit along with your own application and have the visa office process such a case, or pay for such and process it entirely at a port of entry.
