Switch from closed work permit to open work permit

[frankyfix]

Hi there,

I am currently on a one year closed work permit valid until June 2020.

I am preparing for the Spouse Sponsorship along with an open work permit Application.

Before I will send out the open work permit application: is it even possible to switch from a closed work permit to an open one or do I have to wait until my closed one expires?

Thank you very much for your answers!

You can get an OWP. You don't have to wait for your current permit to expire.
