Oh yeah... it went on hold last week. But now since the glitch on CIC website, it's not showing the status anymore.

Finally got HR to offer me an extension after convincing them that I can keep working on implied status. I pray the work permit extension gets approved soon

My work permit is expiring on 23rd June. I have applied for PR two days back and based on AOR I have also applied for BOWP. However, I have not received confirmation for the same yet. Without confirmation, Can I continue to stay and work here after 23rd June? How can I renew my SIN?

My BOWP just got approved, timeline as follows:
Applied for BOWP (and PR also): Mar 31st
Work permit expired: Apr 26th
BOWP Application went "On hold": mid-May
BOWP Application back "In progress": Jun 8th
BOWP approved: Jun

So were you eligible stay here and continue to work after 26th April?
