Open work permit to closed work permit

[Ashfana]

Hi ,

I have a full time job under open work permit . Can I request my employer to convert the OWP to a closed work permit ? So that I can get extra points for express entry.

my open work permit is based on my spouse’s study permit.
Any help is appreciated.

Are you in Quebec?
Where did you see that you get extra points for cwp? Pardon my knowledge but I know only of job offer getting 50 extra points but for that you gotta be working and living outside Quebec.
