ICT 5 year cap

Hi All,

If one partner is approaching 5 year cap in ICT visa and another partner with Open work permit. Can other partner get LMIA closed permit and another partner apply Open work permit and continue working in Canada?

The other partner can get a closed work permit based on an LMIA. However the first partner most likely won't be approved for an open work permit due to the principal foreign national rule.

Oh what is that? So there is no way we can stay beyond 5 years unless we get PR?
