Hello all,
Question regarding closed work permit and open work permit.
I am currently employed in Toronto, and my employer has issued me with a closed work permit which is valid until 2019. I am currently into my 1.5 year out of the total 4.
However, I have recently gotten married and my wife is Canadian.
I would like to be able to explore new job opportunities and as far as I understand, I need an open work permit for this.
I guess the real question is whether this is possible? I know that a new visa needs to be issued, but how would that work if I'm already eligible to work, just under restricted conditions of a closed work permit?
Thanks a lot
