But I confirmed with several Immigration Consultants that CSQ holder who is currently working is qualified and eligible to apply for the Bridging Work Permit though it will be bounded to stay in Quebec though.
Technically speaking bwop based on underlying CSQ of no use as you will be only allowed to work in Quebec unlike bwop when you apply through other federal or provinsal programs . So we can either get new wp ( which will be closed) based on sponsoring employer . That's my understanding... I might be missing something as haven't come across any other cases on forums ...

Yep, it is my understanding too that (in the case of Quebec) you get a new closed WP based on the sponsoring employer.... but I have not gone through that personally.

I wish... but everything is true except the open work permit.. it is a closed one which they call it "Employer Specific"

Here is what I did when I applied for an open work permit in March and I get a 1-year open work permit end of the April with 54 code which I have no idea what does it means.

It is a pdf file. I don't want to add 20 images in the form, so I did a pdf file.
https://yadi.sk/i/Vj82pZf33JeNgt

I think the most important thing is to select "yes" for "Have you been told by an IRCC office that you are approved in principle for permanent residence in Canada?" and also "Have you submitted PR application in Canada".

--The expire status is just an example.

I also say "yes" for CSQ and Medical exam question because I have it and done before.

By the way, I didn't select "YES" for accompanying person however in my case I also applied for my spouse too.

At the end, they just asked IMM5710, CSQ, Passport, photo and proof of medical exam for me and for my spouse and we got our work permit in approximately 2 moths (thanks to their speed we were implied status for 1 month)

I hope this information will be helpful for whom is going to apply for an open work permit.

Hi,

all applicant who applied June-July 2016, please let the form know as soon as anybody gets DM or any kind of news from CIC.

Waiting is getting harder and harder for me because my future job is depending on PR and it is already 4 months without job :(
Sorry to hear that, do you mind me asking if there is any complications or something related to the permit to work?? Because if there is...it will help us prepare in advance.
Thank you :)
It is a specific condition actually. I was a post-doc in a university and my eligibility was finished. To continue in the same university, I have to apply to research associate position which is just for citizen or PR holders. So my supervisor is now waiting to open the position ( it is what I hope right now, it is academia. everything can change very quickly)

Wow what a relief ... so what i understood from all this is... employer specific is 2 years and open work permit is granted for a year.
My work permit is expiring on Aug 7 2017 so i should start applying now ?? 2 months is almost what i have ... do not want to go in implied status and stuff.
