I would put "Unemployed" instead of "Not applicable", but otherwise, no it isn't required to have a job when you apply for the permit.
I applied on March 13 and got it approved on the 26th don't worry, it took about 19 days for some people ! Good lucknaijabelle said:Congratulations! When did you apply? Today makes 13 days for me...I know I am just being impatient though :
Yes, it's allowed to leave Canada, but make sure you have valid visa for returning (if you're not visa exempt).lemon_edz said:hi..

Yes. Start the online application process and you will be asked several question about the applicant and his/her dependents. Answer the questions and you will be provided with the list of documents the applicant need to fill for himself and his/her dependents.jkgoulds said:The principal applicant for CEC to apply for BOWP but has a common law partner, would CL partner get an open work permit too at same time?

Operational bulletins are primarily written with CIC staff as their audience. This instruction is for the officer issuing the work permit, not for the applicant. You don't have to do this.waqas11 said:Where do we have to do this in the process of applying BOWP? Is it something that must be done? I saw it in OP 485 bulletin.
For a bridging open WP issued to FSWP, FSTP or CEC, there are no restrictions to Employment Location and therefore the Province of Destination value must be set to UNK first, and then the City of Destination value of Unknown can be selected as follows:
Province of Destination: UNK
City of Destination: Unknown
Thanks a lot again. So for the current activity, do we put the current date (year, month) in the "To" field or we just leave it blank?LPS said:There's no chance of them being confused. The employment history section of IMM5710 applies to everyone. You will be issued an open work permit because you answered the question "What type of work permit are you applying for?" with "Open Work Permit".
