yeah, same question here, I applied for CEC first and got BOWP and then after that sent SINP application , when I called CIC they said I can change the job but only in same occupation , otherwise I need to be renominated by the province?? I that right or since i have open no restrictions BOWP can find employment in different occupation?

An open work permit, which allows a foreign national to work for any employer in Canada, will provide these applicants with better flexibility to integrate and navigate the Canadian labour market, given that they have already been found eligible for permanent residence in an economic program and are currently working in the Canadian labour market.
