Immigration question : one of my friends is on work permit here (global talent stream), recently applied for PR , got ITA and submitted the docs and he got a confirmation saying - all good and you are now eligible for bridge open work permit... Can he join any firm now with bridge open permit ?

Yes. An open work permit lets you work for anyone. The old work permit he got with the global talent stream is likely a closed work permit which has his current employer’s name on it.

The answer is that you can keep working until you get an official response; doesn’t mean you have an open work permit
