for paper-based application, applying for open work permit is a fairly straight process. You need to submit IMM 5710 along with fee payment receipt. All details are indicated in Guide IMM 5289.
For online sponsorship application however, it's not clear.
Hi, new to the forum. Working on PR for my wife. Would like to get her open work permit also. She has a work permit at the moment, but that will expire before our PR application has been processed. I downloaded IMM 5710, but the options at the top don't apply...
- Apply for a work permit with the same employer
- Restore my status as a worker
- Apply for a work permit for the first time or with a new employer
- Get a new temporary resident permit (for inadmissable applicants only)
Am I missing something? Also, do you submit this form together with your initial PR application?
THANKS SO MUCH! This is a daunting task. Kenton
