CSQ to Obtain an Open Work Permit in Quebec

[carlotanching]

I applied outside of canada so its 14 weeks until you receive the open work permit. I still have 2 weeks until i receive it! In your case it should be 5 weeks max because you are in canada. You might need to go to the border once you receive the letter of approval of the open work permit. Therefore you will enter canada under an open work permit with the length of your studies. For example If you did a bachelor degree than it should be 3 years I think.

Thanks dear! Did you also applied for the student visa since you mentioned about the length of the studies and bachelor’s degree? Thanks a lot!

No I did not apply for a student Visa. What I am trying to say is that the duration of your new work permit will be the same duration of the degree you obtain in quebec.

Hello! Can you help with me with my application please! Are you now in Canada? What visa have you applied before? Thanks

Unfortunately the official answer is that with CSQ you cannot get an open work permit. You are LMIA -exempt so it makes it easier for your prospective employer to help you obtain a work permit, but it will be a closed one. Or employer specific. That's the deal. In other provinces PR applicants are eligible for something called bridging open work permit, but as usual, this does not apply to Quebec. You can always try to apply for it, a few have succeeded but others got rejected because as I said, Quebec PR applicants with CSQ are not eligible for open work permits.

Hi I am in the same situation.
could i collect work permit from BORDER with a valid high paid profession job offer along with my CSQ?
Thanks

Hi,

Was any of you able to obtain the open work permit with the CSQ?

I am in a similar situation and would like to know if I am able to obtain an open work permit with the CSQ instead of having to wait for PR or requesting a closed WP.

Thanks!

Congratulations!

I am currently under a closed Work Permit. I have been at Montreal for more than a year and I already speak french, so I will apply to the Québec Experience Program to obtain the CSQ and then I hope to obtain the Open WP to work as contractor.

I don't have it now. But I will have it in around 2 months. Will I be able to request the open work permit at that time?
