Subject: Letter of Explanation – Open Work Permit under the Public Policy with the additional documents of expired PGWP and Visitor Record Restoration's proof and receipt


Dear Sir/Madam,

I am applying for an open work permit under the Public Policy Facilitating the Issuance of an Open Work Permit to Former Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) Holders. Also, I've attached the expired PGWP, and Visitor Record Restoration's (application no. V______________) receipt and proof that I've applied for on January ___, 2021, to this letter.

Lastly, I have also attached the history of Education and Employment from the past 10 years as there is not enough space to add to imm5710e. (Appendix I: Education, Appendix II: Employment history from the past 10 years)

Please let me know if there is anything else you need or further information.

Thank you very much for taking the time and patience with my application.


Yours sincerely,

(Full name)

Go for public policy because the BOWP is dependent on your PR application. The public policy is dependent only on your PGWP

You have to be in Canada to apply. Unfortunately I don't believe you will qualify since you must have been physically in Canada on January 27th according to the rules to qualify.

Are you sure??
It doesn’t make any sense if someone is travelling outside of country and has valid pgwp can’t apply. Specially when I normally live in Canada.
Thanks anyways.

I'm just going by the details on the website. These instructions seem to make it very clearly. Specifically this bit below:

Who can apply
To be eligible for this open work permit, you must meet the following 5 requirements:

1. Your post-graduation work permit (PGWP)
   1. expired on or after January 30, 2020, or
   2. will expire within 4 months from the date you apply for this open work permit.
2. You were in Canada as of January 27, 2021, when the public policy took effect, and have stayed in Canada since then...

If you had an existing work permit and it has not expired while you submitted this application, Yes you can.

If you had another status, No you cannot and need to wait for its approval

Yes, you still qualify because your primarily based in Canada and have a valid PGWP. Just because you take a vacation out of the country which you are eligible for, doesn't disqualify you from the policy.

You have until April 2021 when your current PGWP expires to apply and should be present in Canada.
