I'm currently on a LMIA Closed Work Permit, which states that:
> 5. Not authorized to work in any location other than stated

As I understand, after submitting my BOWP application and before getting the BOWP, I'll have implied status.
Does it mean during this time (whether or not my closed work permit has expired), I can work in any location?
If not, can I live in any location, but work remotely for the same branch of the same employer?
 
Since you are on implied status while you wait for your BOWP, you can only work under the same conditions i.e. for the same employer & location.

If you are currently working remote anyway you can perform your work from somewhere else in Canada, as long as you are officially working for the employer & location stated on your employer-specific work permit
 
I called IRCC. The implied status during bridge work permit processing has the same conditions as the closed work permit. I should stay in the city written there.

Did they ask you to stay in the city or you can work remotely for the same worker?
