LMO received today

i've received my lmo today great news and very happy . it was four weeks since employment letter offered to me from my bc employer. i have experienced panic and excitement. today estate agents going to value pur house and hoping to put in the market next week.

i am about to fill in my work permit application and got a few queries for you guys:

1. my wife also a nurse just been waiting for her job offer as she's also been interviewed. can i include her on my application together with my dependants or does she needs to wait for her job offer and lmo and then applied separately? she can get a open permit based on yours as long as your job must be listed in skill level o, a or b in the national occupational classification. she does need to complete an application form the same as yours and pay fee. to work in canada she needs her own work permit. she will need a medical to work in the healthcare environment

2. on the document checklist: proof indicating you meet the requirements of the job being offered. is it my offer of employment or my crnbc initial registration?

3. when does the medicals take place on this process? is it after the embassy received my application? the embassy will inform you to arrange medicals

i would appreciate all your replies. many thanks.

Silverdragon thanks for your reply. I did read the CIC website and still a bit confused. Am I right in saying that we need to have separate applications and presumably it is same application form IMM 1295 for her as well for an open work permit? As the principal applicant, I'll include on my application form my dependants and please correct me if I am wrong that my wife shouldn't be in my own application form as she needs to fill in her own? This is the one that I am unsure about and confuses me.

cheers

As I understand it you have to complete forms including wife as dependant, she also needs to complete the same form as you. Try sending RGN1 a pm as she went through the process last year
