Hi there

I can't seem to find the answer to my question in any of the threads.

I am filling out the application to change condition form and Q3 asks what I am applying for. I am currently on a working holiday visa but I have a positive AOR. Therefore my WP is OPEN so do I choose Initial temporary resident permit or extension of temporary resident permit or Restoration of temporary resident status as a worker? The other 2 options are a work permit with your employer or a new employer but I don't think that would apply to me.

Any help would be much appreciated :)
Thanks
 
Hey, I was in the same situation (IEC Young Professionals). I read somewhere here what to put in Q3 but I can' find the topic now (Application form is a bit confusing when applying for BOWP). Anyhow, I have PDF document with WP application form and under question 3 I answered "A Work Permit With New Employer". Also, under section "Details of intended work in Canada" under question 1a select "Open Work Permit" and under 2a put "Not Applicable - Bridging Open Work Permit Application" and under 2b put "Not Applicable".
 
I agree with nevenj. The BOWP is an open WP so you don't need employers details and intended work in Canada.
Just put N/A or 'Bridged Open Work Permit' in those fields.
And it doesn't matter whether you check new WP with same or new employer.

Hi Guys..
I am trying to apply for Open Work permit as I am waiting for my PR (applied for it in January).
For OWP I'm applying online, I have added all the forms and documents but there is also "optional documents" what I thought that I can choose to add or not. But now, it looks that I have to add all forms (also optional) to get to the page where I can pay for the request.
Is it the same for everybody or I'm just doing something wrong..?

Thanks!
 
No too sure I haven't got that far yet where I upload my documents. As soon as I do I will let you know. :)
