Hi Friends,
I am facing similar issue as above (IANJUNG), my PR profile submitted 2 weeks back, current visa expires on 20th August, my application to Extend the current work permit is also in progress, meanwhile I wanted to submit my Bridge Open Work Permit to qualify to work at any place. My query is, is it ok to apply for PR , Work Permit Extension and BOWP all at the same time, will CIC get confused by seeing three application under my name?

Please respond, thanks in advance.
John

What LOE mean? I thought if you have AOR you will not have to write an explanation letter to them...

I am not sure if it is necessary to include AOR in support documents but I found many people included AOR in LOE.
Anyone knows?

He is PNP inland candidate there was option in for if you have PNP so he checked that box. Refusal says that in your form you said that you're PNP candidate but you didn't produced the documents that your company sponsored your PNP. However his PNP is through Expeess entry and not company sponsored

Hi guys,

I got AOR yesterday and just submitted application for BOWP.

I found many of you included the AOR in LOE. But I didn't include it as the explain for LOE doesn't say I need to include AOR there.

Is this going to be a problem? If so, what can I do?

Please let me know.
You need to include it to prove that you have a PR application in processing. All the best

Guys when BOWP application is approved, does it mean that Eligibility of PR application is passed? or just R10 completeness check!

Hi everybody,
My husband and I applied for BOWP on May 18 and yesterday I got an email about our applications being updated and I didn't see anything new except that they added the UCI. Does anyone know how long would take them to finish reviewing our applications once they start and to reach a final decision?
