Canada - Open WorkPermit(work with any employer)

I just wanted make my entry about this in the Blogosphere as this is
one of topics that you scarcely get across an informative article/post.

In Canada, there is way that the spouses of workpermit holders(Temporary foreign workers) can work.Another interesting aspect
is if you opt for open workpermit, the applicant can work for any employer who can offer a job for the applicant's capabilities.
This workpermit is also applicable for Students who are in Canada on a student permit and want to work part time during the course
of their studies.

The application and instructions can be found at/downloaded from:
www.cic.gc.ca/ENGLISH/pdf/kits/guides/5553E.PDF

In the case of my spouse, I did not submit any documents proving her academic qualifications or professional experience.But the
workpermit was approved without any issues/questions and the process took about 10 business days from the date of
posting/sending the documents to Immigration Canada. In the workpermit application there is no "field" or "attribute"
where you mention that it is an "open" work permit. All you have to do is just describe it in the "E - Additional Information"
Section.

The appellation[Open Work permit] usually causes a bit of confusion and most of google search results around
"open" workpermits for Canada barely will give you any clear directions(I hope atleast until this entry is published
and this becomes "search" able :)- )

For more details please check:

Again don't specifically look for open work permit or work permit for spouses of work permit holders, read through the application form
which will give necessary details.When I applied in October 2009 for my spouse these were the list of documents:

Wings of Fire – Dr APJ Abdul Kalam’s Autobiography - Reading notes

This is an Autobiography  by one of the India`s most celebrated scientists and leaders, who has a tremendous following across all different age groups especially India`s youngsters. It may lack the literary flamboyance   of   an eminent author; it may not meet the standards   that a literary critic would weigh in on , but it leaves you glued to the life   of  a boat owner’s son, his passion towards rocketry, science , his career struggle through the red-tape clad ladders   of   the Indian Bureaucracy which aligns itself with the journey   of   India's technology advancement and self-reliance in the field of Rocketry and nuclear defence capabilities. It draws you into an aura of amazement and wonder when you read through the indescribable sense   of   accomplishment at the peak period   of   Mr. Kalam’s life and sometime make you feel that they are your(reader’s) accomplishments and that`s the indisputable success fa...

Reading notes - GRIT The Power of PASSION and PERSEVERANCE

This isn't a review rather my reading notes and thoughts that arouse when I read this.  Overall it's an enlightening and easy read and gives us (the readers) loads of methods and tools e.g. Grit score Matrix to help us improve on the subject area. In the cases were people who score handsomely in SAT can be less gritty. How can this happen? What happens to their grittiness when they are prepare for the SAT ? Could it be that they didn't prepare with Interest and Purpose? Angela quotes Harvard psychologist William James "The plain fact remains that men the world over possess amounts of resource which only very exceptional individuals push to their extremes of use". Very very true and the fact that he has proclaimed it in 1907 is amazing and makes one wonder how much of research and findings would have been available then.  Looks like Enron had the Talent mindset not only during recruitment but also during the annual performance reviews. I think this sho...
