Change Closed WP to Open WP after Spousal sponsorship

[baka123]

Hi,

I'm on an LMIA-based work permit and will be marrying my fiance who is Canadian. Is it possible to Lodge our sponsorship application together with a request for an open work permit since I am looking to change my employer?

Yes. It will take approximately 4 months for the OWP to be approved.
