No. Review the spouse’s individual status and proposed activity. A customer contract does not create family work permission.
Keep each person’s status clear
Qualifying L spouses are employment authorized incident to status with appropriate documentation. Dependent children do not receive work permission solely through L status. Include any proposed work for the same customer in the individual assessment.
Identify the spouse’s intended work and any applicable professional licensing needs separately from immigration permission. For an L-2 spouse the answer is yes, without a separate employment authorization document, and it applies equally whether the principal holds L-1A or L-1B. Classify each proposed administrative task before the spouse performs it: enrolment messages, scheduling, attendance tracking, technical support, and payment handling may all be productive work even if brief, remote, or unpaid. Unmarried children under 21 hold derivative status and may attend school in the United States without a separate student route. Children in L-2 status may attend school but hold no work authorization, and a child who turns 21 during the assignment must find an independent basis to remain. Family members apply for L-2 status separately at the port of entry as Canadians, and any later extension of the assignment carries a new petition fee.
