Open Work Permit Questions

[khaugseth]

Hello!

My common- law partner and I are applying for PR and an open work permit at the same time, and I have a few questions about form 5710e:

On Question 3, We have to check one or more of the following boxes and aren't sure which one to choose:
-Apply for a work permit with the same employer
-Apply for a work permit for the first time or with a new employer
-Restore my status as a worker
-Get a new temporary resident permit

My partner is currently in Canada on an IEC visa that is valid until January 2019.

The form also asks for fixed dates for 'duration of expected employment'- He will need the open work permit until PR is granted. Which date should we select for duration?

Thanks!

select......Apply for a work permit for the first time or with a new employer

Ensure you pay the OWP correct fees....100 + 155 = 255.

Since it's an open work permit, you don't need to put anything under duration of employment, field of work, employer, etc. Those don't apply to you. Those questions are there for other kinds of permits, as noted in that question you posted (if you're extending with the same employer and the like.) I remember there being about five or so questions where we just put N/A. No issues and got my permit on schedule.

Approx 4 months, but you can check current processing times on the IRCC website. They do change from time to time.
