The type of jobs that are allowed under an open work permit can vary depending on the worker's qualifications and the specific conditions of their permit. Generally, an open work permit holder can work in any job, whether skilled, semi-skilled, or unskilled, and in any sector, including health care, hospitality, construction, and retail, among others.

OWP by definition allows you to have work in non-regulated jobs and some identified service work. The details are usually written as part of the conditions written on your paper work permit.

Some jobs that may be unrestricted in your countries are regulated in Canada, e.g. professional plumbing and electrical etc. Be sure to follow what is in your permit.
