Thanks so much for your quick and descriptive emails about accepting Open Work Permits. Of 23 districts who responded, 21 take Open Work Permits. Common additional paperwork include:
Proof of address within the district/area
Proof of employment within the district/area
Ongoing employment proof, such as pay stubs
Annual renewal process
A tax Notice of Assessment for renewal
Two districts, one being West Vancouver, do not take Open Work Permits. Our policy is being challenged and I made a recommendation to the Board to amend the policy. We should accept Open Work Permits, though with some of the boundaries above.
Thanks! I was impressed by everyone’s helpfulness – it’s an IPSEAn characteristic that makes our province so great.
