I have a closed work permit until December 2014. My company went bankrupt yesterday, we didn't know anything...
I do not know what to do.
Can I stay in Canada until December 2014 or do I have to leave?
Can I apply for an Open Work Permit?

THANKS!
 
you already have an open work permit...relax and find a new job...you can stay until dec 2014...no issues
 
I have a closed work permit! :o

sorry my bad..did not read it properly...but you can still stay...problem is you need to find an employer who will get you an LMO and eventually a new work permit
 
You don't qualify for an open work permit.

As dbss explained, once you find a new employer, that employer will have to obtain a new approved LMO and then you will have to apply for a new closed work permit.
