It's called BOWP meaning bridging open work permit. Which means they don't care where you work after you get it.
Which also means that no matter what you put in the intended place of work you can work there or change your mind once you get the open permit.
I even just put N/A on my open permit application and I still got it.

I'm guessing your current permit is closed?
You cannot start the new job until you get the BOWP.

Unless you already have an open permit.

Completely agree - though... we can work anywhere in Canada EXCEPT Quebec.
