You got your work permit renewed for 5 months ? Strange !AKJ said:Hi Joyous, it was my employer who renewed it ... I did not had to to anything except filling up forms ...
So as per threads its clear I can apply open work permit as I get AOR.
Seems Sept 2014 applicants (incl me) have been gifted with immense patience...
However, you cannot apply for an open work permit until Jan 29 2015 since the criteria is that your current work permit needs to expire within 4 months.
Good luck !
