Hi everybody,
I'm in Canada as a visitor and I got job offer and LMIA granted, submitted my PR application on the 22 of April and paid the fees.
Called CIC and being told that I can apply within Canada for work permit, online or papers.
The question is what kind of work permit I should apply for? open or restricted? or I just apply and they will be automatically stream my application ?

Via paper they told me that I should send them by mail and it takes less time than online.
as my visitor record expires in June 30, should I extend my visitor visa or just apply for work permit?

LMIA expires also on late June, is the expiration date is only related to the date of submission or i should be valid until the work permit granted?

Thanks in Advance.

You will have to apply work permit to your employer.
LMIA is used for both PR and work permit.

my main question is that what type of work permit I should apply for?
and thanks for your previous answer
From your narrative, a closed work permit with that specific employer is the only one that I think that you are eligible to apply for.
