Hi everyone,

We have received the Acknowledgment of Receipt (AOR) and are planning to apply for an Open Work Permit to my spouse. My spouse has been on a visitor visa for nearly 1.5 years and previously held an open work permit, though she never worked for any employer.

I have a few clarifications regarding the IMM 5710 form – Application to Change Conditions, Extend My Stay, or Remain in Canada as a Worker.
Specifically, in Question 3, it asks:

“I am applying for one or more of the following:”
  1. Apply for a work permit with the same employer
  2. Apply for a work permit for the first time or with a new employer
  3. Restore my status as a worker
Which option should I choose?

Thank you for your help!
