Hello! I have got the Canada open work permit approved (one for H-1B professionals) for 3 years till April 2027. Got the W-1 stamped on my passport. Currently, I’m still in USA. I would like to know if the work permit period of 3 years has already started or it will begin once I enter Canada. Also, is there any deadline before which I must enter Canada to activate this work permit? From what I know, the actual hard copy of work permit will be provided at port of entry in Canada. Thank you.

AFAIK no deadline

Here is the solution! Cancel your work permit and stay the heck out of Canada. You are NOT wanted by its citizens! Our government is run by an idiot!!!

I just had two of the weirdest interview. I was interviewing for a payroll systems mgmt role and the first guy was a finance mgr and he didn't ask me anything. I basically interviewed him. The 2nd interviewer was the hr systems lead. She had read my resume and was super weirded out that my current role is the same as hers. I think she thought I was interviewing to replace her. She kept asking me what I would be doing. Like dude, do you not know why you are even interviewing me? Hard pass.
