Subject: Conversion from Closed to Open work permit
  Hi everyone. Needed some advise.
I´m a foreign worker. I got a 2 year closed work permit. Soon after I got my closed work permit, I got laid off from work.

Secondly, my wife is awaiting entry to Canada to live with me, but she is not able to do so, as i don´t have a job. Therefore, I´m not able to sponsor her.

1.Is there a possibility that I could convert my closed work permit into open?
2.Is there a way to get her into Canada, so that she could live with me?

I don´t see how you qualify for an open work permit. Open work permits are only granted under very specific circumstances (e.g. you have been sponsored by your Canadian spouse through the inland process and your application has received first stage approval). You´ll have to find a new employer. That employer will have to obtain a new LMO and then you will have to obtain a new closed work permit.

Not sure about question #2.

1- You need to find an employer and get him/her to obtain a positive LMO. Once you have that then you can apply for a work permit to work for that specific company. You don´t qualify for an open work permit. If you are not able to find a job or an employer willing to fill an LMO, then you should leave Canada.

2- At this point, it is very unlikely she will be able to receive a visa to enter Canada.

You need to apply for a temporary license as a nurse and have your credentials/recognized by that Provinces Nursing College.

Then find a facility that has or is willing to obtain a LMO Labour Market Oppion. Enter into a contract with the employer then apply for an employer specific work permit.

Hi,
I am holding a closed work permit which is valid until next year Aug 2015. My Job is likely to be over by Dec 2014. Meanwhile i applied for PR on Sep 30th and waiting for my AOR expected by Jan 2015, I am also planning to apply my bridging open work permit on Apr-2015. Also i applied Open WP for my spouse and she is working currently.
If i lose my job on Dec 2014 then can i continue until my current CWP validity which is on Aug-2015?
I am trying to find a new employer who can sponser me a positive LMO - Can you please suggest me how can stay in canada and start a new job?

Thanks,
Dina.
