Please refer to http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/temp/work/prov/bridging.asp

To be eligible for a bridging work permit, the following parameters must be met:

• the foreign national is currently in Canada;
• they have valid status on a work permit that is due to expire within four months;
• they are the principal applicant on an application for permanent residence under the FSWP, the CEC, the FSTP, or the PNP (see note below);
• they have received a positive eligibility assessment on their permanent residence application under one of the Economic Class programs above;

and

• they have applied for an open work permit.

I understand that requirement's, I was wondering if there are any means to get a work permit. Other than a sponsored visa like a LMIA.

Hi

That was not your initial question.

The answer is no, BOWP has been explained in previous post. You need an LMIA to legally work here.

Thx
