Hi

I am in the process of extending my open work permit online using my AINP nomination letter.
When i get my extended work permit, will it be a closed work permit or an open work permit?

Is there any way that i can get an open work permit?

I believe since you have been nominated by the province and do have a Nomination certificate then that could be used to obtain new work permit or renew work permit without needing LMO labour market opinion. You need letter from the province which nominated you+ your nomination certificate as well. You can also call CIC help line and enquire with them just to make sure what kind of permit you need to apply for. But having a nomination definitely entitles you to extend your work permit.

Assuming that you have been nominated under Employer Driven stream its a closed work permit attached to your employer. A PNP nomination helps eliminate the need for a LMO.

I am in Edmonton and went thru ANIP .
You don need LMO , ANIP certificate is accepted instead of LMO

You need to stay under same employer , do not apply for open work permit , closed is what you need .
You're not far away from getting your PR , 6 months maximum.

Cheers
