It's vague,, when I first started to think of the Open work permit option and after reading all related info on CIC website, i concluded that it is not for Quebec applicants as Hossam stated.
Then, I tried the eligibility questionnaire , and it gave me the option of OPW,, FYI, there is a question regarding my current status and I put WORKER (not visitor) and still getting the option to apply for an Open work permit...

in case i don't have a job offer and an employer who can wait 2 months for my Work permit , i am going to apply for an Open work permit (once AOR received) and will share the outcome on this thread.. Prior to that, i am going to consult my immigration lawyer and will keep you posted.
On another hand, my current work permit will expire in Oct 2015, can you give me your opinion on the options i have (other than closed work permit and the OPW trial :) to avoid leaving Canada until getting PR ..

just found this link http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/permit/extend/permanent.asp

Qualifying applicants currently in Canada who have submitted an application for permanent residence under the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), Canadian Experience Class (CEC), Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) or the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) may be considered for an open work permit if their current work permit will soon expire.

Hello all,

Great topic.

I have just submitted my PR application to Nova Scotia. A couple of questions:

1- How long does it take to get the file number (I read here the answer is 18 weeks) but the follow up question is: is this time counted as a processing time? or the processing time starts once you get your file number? and
2- Is the VISA office which will handle the application is selected automatically based on the your country of residence?

Thanks

Yeah, I am in the same situation. Used the wizard and my result was BOWP. I applied in late May but I hardly doubt that it will be approved. Did some further research on this topic and as it seems QSW are not eligible due to the fact that Quebec does not have any provincial agreement with the government of Canada (hence we do not count as provincial nominees). It sucks big time. They will likely ask me to submit a job offer and issue a closed work permit based on that or reject the application. If they reject it, I am certainly going to ask for a refund. If they aren't able to program their online tools properly and hence provide you with misleading information it is not one's fault if the person applies for a work permit they are not eligible for.

Quebec is not considered as Provincial Nominees, to make sure from this you can visit this link (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm-ec.asp) and you will find different application types for quebec and Provincial Nominees
