Hi, I am currently in the process of obtaining my PR as a QSW, I am employed in Canada and have an employer specific work permit (I had an open work permit prior to this one, but was given a closed one upon renewal, I think because I included a letter where I said that I would like to remain in Canada and work with the same employer when I was renewing it last time) I need to re-new it again as it is expiring and would like to obtain on open work permit so I can have the freedom to work for a different employer. In the application to change conditions, extend my stay or remain in Canada as a worker, which should I select for question 3?
I am applying for one or more of the following:
* A work permit with the same employer
* An initial work permit or a work permit with a new employer
Regardless of the answer, section 3 asks for what type of work permit I am applying for, where I have the option to select an open work permit.
Question 3 is confusing me, because I am afraid that if I select that I am applying for a work permit with the same employer they may give me an employer specific work permit none the less, but if I select a work permit with a new employer, I don't have any other potential employer at this time and will not have any supporting documents or information to complete the rest of the section pertaining to Details of Intended Work In Canada (unless I simply fill it with information about my current employer).
Any advise would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
