As a US citizen, the first approach worth considering would be those provisions of NAFTA. Although the Professional category requires certain academic credentials as a general rule, there is not necessarily a minimum experience requirement for most occupations. The key would be to determine if the work that you will do is consistent with the definition of an eligible occupation.

Alternatives to the above would include seeking a LMO approval or the provisions of Significant Benefit to Canada, the latter only if formal policies of reciprocity exist for these types of internships.

[quote="David"]What is the country of your wife's citizenship? Most EU passport holders would be exempt from the need for a passport visa. Are you referring to the ordinary passport stamp that all individuals receive upon entry?

Assuming that she does need one, it would be advisable to seek a new multiple-entry visa if you plan to travel in and out of Canada on a regular basis after February 14th.[/quote]

Hi David, my wife is a Spanish (visa exempt) passport holder and yes, I was referring to the ordinary passport stamp which should give her a 6-month stay permission.

If the work that she does is classified as high skill (NOC 0, A, or B), then the information provided suggests that you would be eligible for an open work permit. During the validity of such a permit, you would not be obliged to depart Canada if you wife departs.

Your wife is eligible to apply for a work permit if she receives an offer of employment. As you mention, such an offer could be subject to the requirement of a Labour Market Opinion approval prior to the eligibility for the work permit itself. Such an application would generally be process outside of Canada, including - possibly - at a port of entry.

If the sponsorship application had been conducted inland, then she would have been eligible to seek an open work permit following approval-in-principle of such an application. I believe that this is the situation that you are referring to on the CIC site. As your sponsorship does not appear to be inland, those specific provisions would not apply.
