I was recently approved and sent an Open Work permit while my family class perm residency application is being processed (currently passed Stage one with spouse sponsor and awaiting background and medical checks).

The condition on my new work permit (case type 27) says "unless authorized, prohibted from engaging in employment in canada"

What does that mean? I have a an open work permit but can't work?? Doesn't make any sense.

Can anyone help me understand?

Thanks :'(
