Hello,
I applied for CEC Express entry and I have the AOR with me.

I have a closed work permit at the moment. But when I tried to find my eligibility from myCIC account, it shows that I am eligible for open work permit even though i mentioned that my current work permit expires next year.

Any clues peeps ?? Has anyone applied for it in such situations

Thanks

To qualify for a bridging open work permit under EE, your elegibility review must show as "passed" or you have received a letter from CIC confirming you meet the requirements under the program you applied. The instant AOR is not enough.
Keep in mind your current work permit must valid for less than four months. If your current wp is valid for more than 4 months , you are not eligible for a bridging owp.
