Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada has actualizado its operational guidelines for work-permit applications submitted by family members of military personnel, effective November 14, 2025. The revision confirms that dependent children are no longer eligible for open work permits under codes C46 or C48 for applications filed on or after January 21, 2025, where no reciprocal agreement applies. It also clarifies that spouses of TEER 4 workers are no longer eligible for open work permits under code C47. In addition, the update introduces new instructions related to acceptable documentary evidence, approval criteria, and refusal procedures for cases submitted outside reciprocal agreements, aligning these rules with broader changes to family-member work-permit policy implemented earlier this year.
