Open WP is similar to BOWP, and you get the former one while you complete studies in Canada or Sponsored through a Dependent Spouse. The Later one is issued to bridge the gap between Temp Status to PR Status.niagary said:Thanks for your mail. I got a sense of closed work permit. But have few queries. How could one get 600 points for Cec. It must be a pnp nomination, right? Did not understand about open wp...is it the same as bridging open wp.
