New employer don't have experience. He is New to franchise business or can say not capable.
MY query is do i have to go for open work permit
If open permit received and later I found employer on LMIA can I switch from open to closed
Or instead of open work permit Do i have to search new employer for Pre approved LMIA and then take new closed permit.

What you suggest..

Thanks

YYour post is so confusing. If your employer on your LMIA is not longer employing you and you are on closed work permit then you need another LMIA and closed work Permit.

Is this good if we can go for open work permit or eligible?
Later on once we receive new employer for LMIA and switch from open work permit to closed permit. Is this possible?

How are you eligible for an open work permit if on a closed one? Is your spouse studying or working in Canada?

Thanks for reply ! My spouse is in India and working there.
My question is my employer is no more with franchise and new employer is not hiring me. Hence closed work permit I can't work..
Is this possible can I convert my closed permit to open work permit ? Is this good option?

Or do I search another employer for LMIA close work permit?

It's not possible to convert to an open work permit. You have to find a new employer who is willing to obtain an approved LMIA and then apply for a new closed work permit.
