I have applied for permanent residence under CEC
I received my file number in May 2013 but my work permit and visa are going to expire in March 2014.
So I need to apply for bridge work permit.
Anyone know that do we have to get LMO for Bridge work permit

As the name says, it's an open work permit, and you don't need a job offer or LMO to get it.
Wouldn't make sense for an open work permit, would it?

So wanted to confirm

Are you sure you parsed that correctly...

Seems the meaning of "once you have an AOR there's an alternative to needing an LMO" is more likely

If it asks you for the LMO then you answered the questions wrong and are not eligible for the BOWP.
Check my website for a link called OB485-A and read about the eligibility criteria.
