Hello,
I am current having AOR and my work permit is closed one with my last company. I don't have job now and living in Canada with the work permit which is valid. Any one suggest me the possibility to get BOWP. Thanks

Is your PR application based on LMIA (Looks like not but just want to confirm).

You can apply for BOWP, but not sure whether you may get OWP or closed WP.

It is not. I called the immigration and received a detail that i can apply BOWP but i can not work for any company other then the one state in my current work permit. Also i can stay in Canada until decision made on my BOWP application.

Hi everyone,

I got AOR under CEC on 29th of December and applied for BOWP on the same day. My OPW expired on 31st of December.

I have 2 basic questions. I need your help, please.

1-) I forgot to attach AOR to the LOE for the BOWP. I sent it via a web form enquiry on the same day. Should I do anything else?

2-) I submitted my PR application without my FBI clearance (uploaded proof-of-application instead) and without my wife's medical x-ray scan (uploaded the doctor's letter instead) due to her pregnancy. Do these have anything to do with my BOWP application. Can my BOWP be approved without them or be rejected because of them?

Thanks

Hello everyone,

I am currently filing the online application for BOWP and on the checklist provided after filling all information was IMM5257E (Application for visitor Visa), i was expecting to see the IMM5710 (Application to change conditions, extend my stay or remain in Canada as a worker).
Is this normal ?
Second question, is BOWP issued with an expiry date ?

Nothing can do.

BOWP is approved once the applicant passes eligibility.

IRCC
hold BOWP if the applicant hasn't passed eligibility at the time of BOWP review. They won't reject the application and approves after eligibility passed.

Thanks

gowthamp, thanks for the reply. So what I understand from your answer is until I submit medicals and PCC my BOWP application will be on hold, right?

You are good.
