Is this the case for the Quebec province though? As far as I understand from IRCC website, in the specific case of Quebec, AOR is not sufficient for BOWP application, but needs the next stage I.e. having passed the completeness check (R10) and having an application number starting with E.

If your application doesn't pass completeness check then it is returned to you and you won't be issued an EPxxxxxx number.

they did ask for an additional document (just resubmit and update one date for one address), but at the same time I was issued UCI, EP number and sent biometric appointment letter.
So do I take this is complete and I can apply for BOWP?

Why do they never call all the stages what they are clearly?? (like AOR I just had to infer from an email not mentioning specifically what it was - is "completeness check" the same or do we ever receive a clear document or notification saying that).

This is the info from the official site

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/permanent-residence/terms-definitions-related-permanent-residence.html

Acknowledgement of receipt (R10 passed) letter
An acknowledgement of receipt (R10 passed) letter is issued to an applicant (or their representative, if applicable) once their application for permanent residence has passed the R10 completeness check. The letter is issued by the Centralized Intake Office. If the application was submitted electronically, this letter is sent to the applicant (or their representative, if applicable) via their MyCIC account; otherwise, the letter is sent by mail. This letter should not be confused with the electronic receipt of the application for permanent residence letter. This is the official acknowledgement of receipt letter and it may be used to support a bridging open work permit if all other requirements are met.

I was in the same situation having a request to provide a document with UCI and EP assigned, so I've applied for BOWP.
Looks like the essential thing to apply for BOWP is the application number (EP)

Thanks for the info, that would be great news for me. Have you already heard back?

Two dates after I applied for BOWP I got the message extending my current WP for 6 months.
Since then - waiting
But I assume that PR might come earlier than BOWP, as far as I know, it happens in most cases.

Hello everyone!

A police certificate is required in the PR process. For the Express Entry stream, it says:

Our online system will ask for a police certificate for:

1. you and your family members who are 18 years or older
and
2. every country you (or a family member) stayed in during the "last 10 years" for 6 months in a row or longer

What I noticed is that for other routes, including the Quebec route, there is no mention of "last 10 years"! Is this only for Express Entry?

Hello,

My work permit expired on august 12, but I have applied for BOWP and PR. In the letter it mentions 6 months or a decision is made, I have received the second email for my PR, now I am waiting for ecopr and card.
may I continue working even if the letter states 9 february?

Well, I’m not sure about EE, because I went through QSWP, but I think you just need to provide what’s the form is asking.

And, I would recommend to ask in the EE related threads

Context:
I received my AOR on January 13, 2025, for my PR application through the Quebec Skilled Worker Program. They requested additional documents, which I submitted on January 23, 2025, via the web form. I received a generic email confirming the documents were attached to my file, but my GCKey account doesn’t reflect any updates.

Questions:

1. How long does it typically take to review additional documents?
2. Since my GCKey account doesn’t show any updates, how can I confirm if my documents were properly received?

Hi, did you get any updates after sending your CV? I sent my CV on January 7, today got the email that we have successfully received the document!

Hey, did you get any updates since then?
