Should I include "intended employer" information in my BOWP application if I have a job offer?

I've just submitted my PR application and received my AOR letter. Right now I'm applying for a BOWP visa so I can keep working here (software developer).

The thing is, I got 50 points for having a job offer for my current employer (LMIA-exempt, as I'm currently in Canada in a IEC visa) and I'm not sure if I should fill up my employer information in the section about "intended employer" of the IMM5710 form, as this is a *open* work permit and may end up confusing the officers.

I've done some research and seen some conflicted information on this topic, and I would like to hear more about this. Thanks in advance.

Also, my current work visa is expiring in two weeks lol

Hi, how did it go? Was BOWP approved? What about mentioning job offer in the bowp app?

Hi,

Yes it was approved back in May :) I didn't mention my job offer in the BOWP application. I read in some threads that mentioning it could create confusion due to this being an Open Work Permit application.
