I have a closed work permit that expires in 9 months and I'm wondering if it makes sense to apply for an open work permit with my common-law sponsorship. If yes, does it also make sense to try to get another closed work permit as a backup plan? I wouldn't be applying for both simultaneously, I would apply for the open work permit and have my employer go through the process to get another LMIA.
Then if the open work permit didn't go through, we could use the LMIA to get another closed work permit. I'm not sure the likelihood of the open work permit going through, so I don't know if it makes sense to go through the time and expense. Any feedback would be helpful.
