Hi

Then maybe you wish to read the FW01 Manual on Work Permits.

"2. Temporary Foreign Worker Nominated by a Province (TFW-PNP)
It has been agreed with the provinces that have entered into provincial nominee agreements that a person who has been nominated by a province for permanent residence and has a job offer from an employer based in that province may be issued a work permit without requiring an LMO.
In order for this provision to be applied, the application for the work permit must include a letter from the provincial government that confirms:
• that the foreign national has been nominated for permanent residence by the province; and • that the nominated individual is urgently required by the provincial-based employer who has made the foreign national a job offer.
The duration of the work permit should be equivalent to the duration of the job offer.

That doesn't state that it HAS to be TIED to an Employer though - it just says you have to HAVE a job offer and that the work permit should run for as long as the job offer.

I understand it that they (here at least) give you a 2 year open work permit, as within that timeframe you will have received your PR.

And perhaps YOU should get off your high horse and take the time to consult this and see there are FOUR PNP streams only ONE of which MAY require a job offer.
