Hi everyone,
I just went down to the border today to get my working holiday open work permit. Everything went well. They asked me about arranged employment and i told them the name of my current employer (the one i havre arranged to start working for next monday).
The only problem is that i got the documents and went back to toronto and when i read through it, the work permit says
Employer:[name of my current employer]
occupation: open ea
The lady that issued it, told me it is an open work permit but i am worried because the name of the company i'll be working for is listed on it under employer.

Did she mess it up or is it still an open work permit?

Thanks in advance,
George

It is open, notation of "Open EA"

Thanks PMM, I was really worried there for a second. So it doesn't matter that it states the name of my current employer and I can still work for other companies?
