Bridging open work permit

[Humaira umer]

I currently have a valid employer specific work permit valid until Feb 2022 and planning to apply for bridging open work permit as my PR is in progress.

After getting the bridging open work permit, would I be able to work for any employer or I have to stick with the same employer until I get my PR?

Thanks

Open work permit allows working for any employer. That means you can work for multiple employers ..

Any idea what are the requirements for applying for "Bridging open work permit", And can this be initiated by candidate?

You need to have already been selected for PR (i.e. received ITA) and submitted your complete application (and received AOR) through an economic immigration program like Express Entry. You must also already be holding a valid work permit at the time you apply for the BOWP that is expiring within 4 months. Do you meet all of these conditions?

Thank you. Yes, I do. However, What exactly you mean "Complete Application". If i receive a AOR, does that suffice? Also while the BOWP is under process and if my Closed Work permit is revoked can i still stay in Canada?

PGWP expiring next month.
Got ITA
Want to know that once I apply BOWP and I know it takes 4-5 months for the application to be done. But do I get a receipt of acknowledgement or something for BOWP application? Which i can use and renew my SIN?
