How To Apply A Open Work Permit In Canada
If you’re applying for an open work permit in Canada, it may help to know what you can and cannot do. In a general sense, you are no longer bound by the rules that govern a foreign national’s stay in Canada on a work permit. As an open work permit holder, you are therefore allowed to work anywhere in Canada. To receive this status in Canada, and avoid deportation, you must be able to prove that you have enough money to live on while staying in Canada.
