A few questions:

1. How long is the OWP issue for? I need a documents showing more than 12 months in order to get my Alberta driver's license.... That's why I am applying for this OWP. I currently have a Work Permit for my current employer which is valid until April 2014 but that's not enough to get the driver's license!
2. When applying for the OWP - I use the "Application to change conditions" application form. On the document checklist, it requests a copy of my LMO. How have other people that used this form? Should I send in my LMO - or not - because I want an OPEN work permit......

Thanks everyone :) This place is so handy to hear other peoples experiences!
