Professional Flexibility in Canada
An open work permit allows you to work for any employer in Canada, except for those listed as ineligible. Unlike a closed permit, it does not require a specific job offer or an LMIA at the time of application.
Who Can Get an Open Permit?
- Spouses of skilled workers or international students
- Graduates from Canadian institutions (PGWP)
- Permanent residence applicants (bridging open work permit)
- International Experience Canada (IEC) participants
