Hello everyone,
I have question regarding the express entry. Actually, my current situation is that my work permit expired along with that TRV too expired. I am living in India. I am in express entry pool. Once get invite and will receive AOR. How can I apply for BOWP from India. I applied for visitor visa too but its more than 3 months still showing in progress.
Dont thik you are eligible for BOWP anymore -

Who can apply for a BOWP
To be eligible, you must

  • live in Canada (and intend to live outside Quebec) at the time you apply for your BOWP
    • You can leave Canada while we process your application.
    • However, if you leave Canada after your work permit expires, you can’t work until your new application is approved.
  • either
  • be the principal applicant on your permanent residence application
  • have submitted a complete applicationfor permanent residence and passed the completeness check
    • Submitting a profile to the pool is not the same as applying for permanent residence.
    • Make sure you understand how Express Entry works.
  • have your acknowledgement of receipt letter
    • We send this letter to your account after we get your permanent residence application
