OWP for Common-Law Partner holding a SOWP

Hi everyone,
I was successfully approved for a Closed Work Permit and my partner for an Open Work Permit (he is considered as my common-law partner).
He has managed to secure a job offer (NOC A) in Canada already.
Now, I have received a better compensation offer from another employer in Canada but I am restricted to work for my sponsor as of now.
-> Would it be possible for me to apply at the Port of Entry (Toronto Airport) for a SOWP (under my partner's own SOWP) ? I am asking if it is possible to get an immigration officer to switch my status from Closed Work Permit to SOWP.
-> Are immigration officers at Toronto Airport able to operate work permits and open work permits onsite immediately?
-> If both responses are no, what would you recommend me to do to be able to work for any employer asap?
Many Thanks for your help and support.

Hello,
Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.
We can appreciate that you would be concerned about this situation.
We are sorry, we are unable to provide a definitive response regarding this type of immigration application process.
However, you may want to contact the IRCC Call Centre to speak to a representative for some additional information. It is possible to get through. You may have to just keep trying. Some have found that if they phone right at 8 am when the lines open it is easier to get through.
I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
