Hi Joey,

The answers you input into the CIC questionnaire will determine which options the online system will allow you to apply under. The important questions when applying for a Bridging open work permit are the ones referring to if you have submitted an application for permanent residence in Canada and have received 1st stage approval or have been approved in principle. Answering yes to these questions should provide you with the option to apply for an "Open Work Permit". This is the option you will choose for a bridging open work permit. There won't be an option to specifically apply for a "Bridging Open Work Permit".

If you are still having problems, post a picture of all your answers and I can determine which questions you may have answered incorrectly.

Good luck!

I think for the questions 1. What would you like to do in Canada? you should answer "work" 2. How long are you planning to stay in Canada? you should answer "more than 6 months". I did that and the system lead me to apply Open Work Permit.

I am not 100% sure. Please correct me if I am wrong.
