Hello all,

I have accompanied my husband who is a student in Canada, so, I have an open work permit that will be expired within 4 months.
I got my PNP certificate (Employer Job offer-Foreign Worker) and want to apply for a closed work permit but some questions are confusing and hard to answer.
I would appreciate it to help me answer these questions:
I have the T13 LMIA exempted code and my employer paid the employer compliance fee and gave me the employer offer number as well.

1. Does one of the following apply to you?

  • I am applying for an open work permit under an active public policy or pilot program announced by IRCC.
