IEC (valid work permit) to open work permit

[ula]

Hi,

I'm on the IEC 2015 program with a still valid work permit, working full time. Would love to stay one or two years more in Canada, working. I know I cannot extend IEC nor I can apply for a work permit (because I don't have LMIA), so the only way is to apply for an open work permit.

Can somebody help me and tell me how I can do it and what are my opportunities?

Thank you in advance and have a good day!

1. Either you get a LMIA or if eligible apply for a 2nd IEC. As you are not eligible for an open work permit,

Province- Ontario.

I'm polish, so I can apply for a second IEC after six months in between- so it doesn't help for me.

Is it true that I can apply for an open work permit (when my permit is still vaild) after I apply for a pemanent residency? Is it the only way and how can I do it?

Also about this LMIA- is there any website to find a job with it? That the employer will provide it?

Not true. You will need AOR to apply for open work permit.

Not true. You will need AOR to apply for open work permit.

Ok, but AOR I'll get when I apply for a permanent residency, isn't that right?

Yes

Ok, do you have any suggestions how to make it?

And AOR is just a confirmation that they got my application for a permanent residency, yes?
