I am holding close WP and my spouse is having open WP. Is there any way to get the open WP for me as there are possibilities of layoff in my company.
There are options but they are pretty limited.
- If you switch to a study permit, complete full time studies in Canada that are at least 8 months in length, then you will then qualify for a PGWP after you finish your studies that is equal to the length of your stuides.
- If you can qualify and be selected under an immigration program and submit your complete application, then you can qualify for a Bridging Open Work Permit, For example, if you can qualify to apply under Express Entry, submit your profile and have a high enough score to receive ITA, and then submit your complete application post-ITA, then you can apply for a BOWP after you have completed all of these steps.
