hello, i know cic has given opportunities for students who are having financial difficulties to change their study permit to open work permit temporarily, with legitimate reasons (i.e. recession in your home country)

I am looking to change my status but not sure how the process is. Will I need LMIA or full time job offer to change my status based on this special case?

For those who are unfamiliar with this issue: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/apply-who-permit-result.asp?q1_options=1i&q2_options=2l

I do have a part time job and have been working for more than 6 months and i do follow the 20 hours rule. but i want to know the requirements and how to go about this procedure. thanks
