"The applicant has documented training and experience to be employable in occupations related to NOC 6421 Retail Salespersons and Sales clerks or in a related occupation. The applicant has been working in Manitoba since August 2012 and has long term offer of employment from same employer. On these bases, the applicant has demonstrated the intent and ability to establish successfully in Manitoba and contribute to economy of this province" This is my letter of approval. I have my file number and medicals. My open graduation work permit is going to expire next month. Now tell me is there anyone who applied for "Open work permit" with this kind of restriction or this kind of LOP and they have got there OBWP. Please help me out because cic customer care doesn't have any information on this. :'( :'( :'(

Hey Bpatel
If you have BC PNP Approval letter than u must ask to BC PNP officer to get Work Permit Support Letter to extend your work permit .......you can go to U.S.-CANADA Border for flag pole to extend your work .......but u must take with u Employer compliance Fees receipt of CAD$230 and filled IMM 5802E farm from your employer and a reference letter from your Employer about your job.
I have been US-CANADA border last night to extend my closed work permit and they gave me work permit for 1 years. Until May 15, 2016
Wish u good luck if you need further assistance let me know .....I'll try my best to help you....!!!!

Hi,

I got my Alberta PNP (AINP) recently and My PGWP expires June 19,2015. From the previous threads on the forum I've read that we do not need a US visa to do a flagpole at the border. Does anyone know if I can apply my PR application to CIO or do I have to wait until get the new/extended work permit first? Experts please reply.

Thanks
Sami

Bro you should apply for pr asap. Both are different case. Wp not depend on ur pr it is depend on ur pnp. Dnt waste ur time in wait. You will know how long you have to wait for aor after pr application received.

And if ur pnp expires before wp application you need pnp extension. So make sure you apply for pr and wp asap.

I see, thank you so much for quick response Bpatel1. So, does it mean I will get AOR even if my PGWP expires and I'm on implied status?

it is ok if you have applied already to extend your work permit at CIC. hope you will get work permit extention very soon...................i want to let you know to all if someone want to extend thier work permit ....they can go to US-Canada Border for flag-pole ............not necessary to have US visa in your passport.............as i got extention for 1 year work permit at US-CANADA BORDER. they asked me to show a reference letter from my Employer and paid receipt by your Employer Compliance Fees CAD$ 230 and filled a Job Offer farm IMM5802 from Employer and signed by him. And they also asked me about my BC PNP Approval letter which has expired already and a work permit support letter from BC PNP. .........i also took a (A.O.R.) letter of confirmation of my PNP PR Application submitted to CIO on 1 December, 2014. and recent last 6 month Pay-Stubs of my salary.
hope this help someone who wants to extend work permit.
Regards.....!!

Hi SMI2015
I have also paid CAD$ 155 to extend my work permit at CIC Duglas CANADA-US Border.
I have waited at border for 1 hours to get my all papers back with new Work Permit. I think it's better to get work permit at Border instead of apply to CiC online or paper application ....I saw nowadays many applicants waiting for more than 2 month to get their work permit.
