Hi,

I plan to apply for spousal sponsorship and an open work permit under the pilot sponsorship program.

I understand the sponsorship can take over 2 years to process but what about the open work permit submitted with it?

Will CIC separate the two applications and provide a work permit sooner?

How long will that work permit be valid?

Is there any word on potential extension of the program beyond 2016?
Thanks in advance for your help
