Work permit renewal after 24 months

[nnaeiluj0918]

I am under LCP and immigration issued me a pretty precised 2 years working permit ( to some they are giving them 3 months allowance). I only worked for one employer so my work permit expires the same date as my 24th month. Question, Do I need to renew another LCP work permit first before I apply for PR status? Or can I apply open permit instead of renewing it?

You can apply for an open permit at the same time you apply for PR.  Better to call CIC and ask though.  Otherwise when you send in your PR application and OWP application after 24 months, you have no job until they have processed your OWP.
