1. An open work permit allows you to work for anyone. A close work permit means you are tied to a specific employer.
2. No. You first need to find a job offer from an employer in Canada. The employer will also need to obtain an approved LMIA. Once you have these two things, you can apply for a closed work permit tied to that specific employer.
3. Professional is easier.
4. It varies widely depending on where you end up living.
