You have nothing to worry about. You will get your PR before your permit expires. The processing time for EE is 6 months if I am not mistaken?

All the best

Thank you for the prompt reply.

But currently i have a Closed work permit with Calgary Location. I need a open work permit , with which i can work at different location.

Thank you.

You can only apply if your work permit is due to expire within the next 4 months.

Pending PR application is a ground for extending a permit that is due to expire. I doubt it is a reasonable ground for changing it from closed to open.

Lets see what others say

Hi,

I have a similar situation, as I have few problems with my current employer with whom I'm on closed WP.
Also I have an offer from another employer.

Please advise!


Thanks,
Rajesh

Hi Friends,
My PR profile submitted 2 weeks back, current visa expires on 20th August, my application to Extend the current work permit is also in progress, meanwhile I wanted to submit my Bridge Open Work Permit to qualify to work at any place. My query is, is it ok to apply for PR , Work Permit Extension and BOWP all at the same time, will CIC get confused by seeing three application under my name?

Please respond, thanks in advance.
