I have a question here as well:

I am currently on PGWP which is expiring soon. I have a AOR on my permanent residency application.
I am applying for OWP and the employer will be the same as the one I am with (BUT I have no LMO) .
In this case, I am applying for:
- A work permit with the same employer
OR
- Initial temporary resident permit or extension of temporary resident permit


Thanks in advance ;)
Same as ujbaby. The last option is what you need.

I CURRENTLY HOLD PGWP WITH NO EMPLOYER SPECIFIC. WHAT WILL I MARK ON QUESTION NUMBER 3 ( FORM IMM5710E) WHERE IT WAS ASKED

I AM APPLYING FOR ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING:

1. A work permit with the same employer
2. Initial temporary resident permit or extension of temporary resident permit
3. RESTORATION OF TEMPORARARY RESIDENT STATUS AS A WORKER
You should choose #1. "a work permit with the same employer". This doesnt mean that you're asking for a closed work permit. You specify the type of work permit that you are applying for under question #1 in the section titled "Details of intended work in Canada"


# 2 does not apply to you. Work permits and study permits confer temporary resident status, but they are not temporary resident permits. A temporary resident permit is for a person who is inadmissible to Canada due to reasons such as health, criminality, and so on, however due to special circumstances they may be granted status in Canada via a TRP. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/inadmissibility/permits.asp

I guess the first option worked fine for ujbaby since there was no follow-up?

I picked the first option too, and add my detailed situation in the letter of explanation. Hope it won't go wrong!

that's regarding your AOR. if you have already received an AOR that means you have been approved in principle.
