My wife is sponsoring through the inland spousal sponsorship.
I am currently on a visitor permit

This means that I can apply for an Open Work Permit.

This requires form IMM5710e

Some of the questions are confusing me and I hope you can
offer some guidance. I cant get through to the CIC call center

I had a 3 year open work permit after graduating university.
This was back in 2007

So one of the questions is this

Question 3

Check the appropriate box or boxes to indicate if you are applying for:

  • A work permit with the same employer
  • An initial work permit or a work permit with a new employer
  • Restoration of your status as a worker
  • An initial or an extension of a temporary resident permit

Which one should I choose?

Hey @kayvee, what did you end up doing? My fiance is about to go through the same process.
I'd really appreciate any insight you could share.
