@ VEGASINDIAN ..It doesn't matter whether my OPNP expires or not?? plus do they need LMIA for a closed work permit?
Yes, even if it expires, contact your OPNP for a reference letter. Your OPNP expires for applying to CIC. If you see the letter, it says the last date to Apply to CIC. So its a two edged sword. If you get AOR the letter doesn't matter.
Regarding LMIA, you dont' need LMIA for a closed work permit. If you see the form IMM 5802, it is for Closed work permit exempt from LMIA. More info is here at:
