Hi everyone, I'm new to the forums but have been getting lots of useful information from it via Google... so I thought I'd bite the bullet and sign up.
My situation currently is this:
I submitted my application for PR on May 29, 2019 and was eligible through the Canadian Experience Class. Right now, I'm on an OWP that expires on September 29, 2019. I became eligible for a BOWP just a little over a week ago. I've just now started the BOWP application process and could use some help filling out IMM5710 if anyone would be so kind. I'm nervous as I don't have a lot of time left on my current OWP and don't want to risk anything by missing a step or something of the like.
Under the part where it says "I am applying for one or more of the following:", would I select "Apply for a work permit with the same employer" or "Apply for a work permit for the first time or with a new employer" for the BOWP? Does it matter which I select?
Under "Details of Intended Work in Canada", the type of permit I would select would be "Open Work Permit", correct? Or would I choose "Other" and then type in "Bridging Open Work Permit"? Maybe they're able to decipher what I need by the answers I've given prior? Not sure. The information section for an employer under this section would need to be blank as I am applying for an Open Work Permit in this case, right?
I believe that's everything I'm stumped with for now but I'm sure there will be more to come. Thank you in advance to anyone/everyone that is able to give me some insight!
