OWP just by applying for PR?

[dbliss93]

Very interesting...

I read here that one can receive an open work permit if they:

• You have applied for permanent residence in Canada under one of Canada’s immigration programs;

Just by applying (not even receiving the PR) one can receive an open work permit?

Unless the wording is not complete...

Thank you kindly!

No. This has been explained to you before. Not sure what is confusing and why you are asking again.

Simply applying is not enough. You have to be selected, submit your complete application and receive AOR in order to qualify for an open work permit. In some cases you also must already have a valid work permit.

Taking Express Entry for example. Entering the Express Entry pool is not enough to qualify for an open work permit. You have to enter the EE pool, receive ITA / be selected based on your points, submit your complete application post ITA to IRCC and also receive AOR before you can apply for an open work permit.
