apply for open work permit

[starpc1983]

Hello
I had 2 years work permit under LMIA
And expiration was on 16 jun 2020 also a tourist visa with the same expiration.
Few days before expiration I applied for Extending the tourist visa and still didn't get any result
Also I got the pr invitation letter under canadian class express intery And I submitted on 02 August 2020
I heard about bridge work permit and tried to apply for that but released it must be done at least a month ago before main work permit`s expiration
Now I would like to know what can I do for new work permit ?

Sincerely

Get a new LMIA. You're no longer eligible to apply for the BOWP under EE because your work permit is not currently valid. Your tourist visa has nothing to do with your status in Canada so you are now out of status (as of June 16) and have a month and a half to apply to restore you status in Canada - or leave.

You need to have a valid work permit to be eligible to apply for a BOWP.

No - this won't make you eligible for a BOWP.

As others have said, you must be holding a valid work permit to qualify to apply for a BOWP.
