Hi everyone,

I am trying to apply for an Open Work Permit after receiving my Initial Approval letter. Following this guide, I signed into my IRCC account, and answered the questionnaire to start a work permit application but I am getting prompted to create a Permanent Residency application instead. I already created this application so I am lost on how to specifically create an online application for OWP.

Here are my answers if it helps:
  • What would you like to do in Canada? (required) Help - What would you like to do in Canada?
    • Work
  • How long are you planning to stay in Canada? (required)
    • Permanently
  • What is your current country or territory of residence? If you are presently in Canada, you should select Canada. (required) Help - What is your current country or territory of residence? If you are presently in Canada, you should select Canada.

  • Do you have a family member who is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident and is 18 years or older? (required)
    • Yes
  • What is your main reason to want to come to Canada?
    • Join my family in Canada
