Hi, Congratulations for your ITA.
Can tell me in which mode and how did you get ITA from CIC?
If you receive ITA, why do you want to apply for work permit since you can apply directly for PR?

Your intention to apply for open work permit should not be impacted. Both the applications will be treated differently.Rabz_13 said:
It depends. There is no such time limit with you points. So far your points are enough for the round of invitation, you may get ITA immediately whether you apply today or 6 months back.0NIKE0 said:
I set up a profile for the express entry program on March 3, 2015. I received the invitation to apply on March 20th. My score was 484.
I was told I can apply for an open work permit once I receive an ITA for PR. Is this true ? The reason I require an OPW is because I currently have no status in Canada and can't wait another 6 months without working.

This might help you. I got it in CIC website.Rabz_13 said:

Not eligible yet, just when you have PR Eligible, that´s after CIC has reviewed your documents. Not with an ITA, that´s just an invitation to submit documents for review, at this point, only we as applicants claim that fulfill requirements, CIC doesn´t know for sure yetRabz_13 said:
