I have recently submitted my PR application via the PNP stream and my post grad work permit is about to expire in June.
I need to apply for a bridging work permit but the Feb 21 changes makes things a little confusing.

Is my employer supposed to fill in the Offer of employment form Imm5802? I am currently LMIA exempt due to my PNP nomination but my work permit isn't employer specific. The website doesn't have step by step instructions on open work permits as the checklist includes the offer of employment form.

I don't think they would have to as I am applying for an open work permit.

I would like to share some information who have or will have the same case as mine.


I am PNP nominee and applied for work permit extension. My employer paid $ 230 fee and sent offer of employment form to CIC prior to my WP application submission.


1. You have to get your employer fill out offer of employment form along with *Employer declaration form (available with work permit application package and employer does not need to send this to CIC).

2. Your employer can submit offer of employment form directly to CIC via email.

See the link below to get more details about this.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/5802ETOC.asp?_ga=1.131253896.600582372.1435954176

Once your employer submit offer of employment form, he/she will get a confirmation email from CIC.

3. You can upload the form online with your work permit application after your employer sends it to CIC.

I hope it helps :)
