According to my wife she given back the Schedule 1 – Application for Temporary Resident Visa [IMM 5257 - Schedule 1], the person that received her application says she doesn't need it. Meanwhile she needs visa because is not Canada; what is going on?
Don't worry Schedule 1 – Application for Temporary Resident Visa is Optional Form , Its a kind of Add on to the Application for Work Permit Made Outside Canada [IMM 1295] . It is required only in some cases, just to be on safer side I filled and submitted this through online application , but if the person who has recieved these filled form mentioned that its not required then its fine.

Application for Work Permit Made Outside Canada [IMM 1295] will solve the Dual purpose of Work Permit and Visa Stamping, So just relax for now and wait for Medical Request :) Cheers!!!

@joanenriquez ,

I believe it is an Open Work Permit you are applying for. An open work permit is not tied with any particular occupation or employer.
You can mention "Open Work Permit" and in the Address fieldsor other fields etc you may write "N/A - As this is an Open Work Permit"
I think the form might not be allowing you to keep LMO number Blank so enter "0000000" or "9999999" which ever number the form is accepting as both of these are dummy numbers and will pass form validation. In the cover letter you need to mention the reason that why you are applying for open work permit and assure visa office along with supporting documents that you have enough ties with the home country and upon the completion of your WP validity you will return back to home country. Good Luck.

Also attach supporting documents with this letter that shows that you have strong ties with your home country , have sufficient financial funds and you have good prospects of your job in your home country. These documents will help visa officer to decide that you will return back to home country upon completion of your work permit validity. Good Luck.
