Hello,

I am working with a closed work permit right now which will be expired at the end of August. I applied for an open work permit two months ago, however, it is still processing. I could find a new job position and I need to apply for a new closed work permit since I have not gotten any response for my open work permit application. Could you please help me to know if it is possible to apply for this new closed work permit while I have another application?
I would be more than happy if you can assist me.

Sure, you can apply for a new closed work permit with a job offer + approved LMIA (assuming the job is not LMIA exempt).

My friend told me that if I apply for a new closed work permit it will affect the process for the open work permit. Can I be sure that there will be no problem if I apply for this closed work permit?

I'm not sure about that.

On what basis have you applied for an open work permit?

Please what procedure should I follow to come work in Canada to help grow the economy
You need a job offer from an employer in Canada and that employer needs to obtain an approved LMIA. So the first step is to secure a job offer in Canada.

The new policy for Iranians who can change their permit to open work permit.
I'm not sure since this work permit falls under a special policy. You may want to consult with an immigration lawyer.
