I don’t, I was hoping for the draw today but will get ITA next Wednesday (score is 454) and will have such a small timeframe to submit everything and apply... hence why I needed to know when my visa officially expires, argh!
Bridging Open Work Permit Processing time
- Thread starter annekling
- Start date
I don't know what to say, you will get it in the draw, keep all your documents ready. for applying for BOWP you need a letter of explanation keep that ready as well.
Obviously I don’t have my document checklist so if you can tell me if I’m missing anything?
- medical form (I got my medical done last week)
- proof of funds
- Letter from my parents re proof of funds
- photocopies of wes outcome, degrees and transcripts
- just have to get some photos but wasn’t sure of the size (some were saying the 50x70 was ok)
- language results
- I heard scans of passport pages which is easy to do
Anything else?? Not at home so trying to remember off the top of my head
Police certificate RCMP ( 2 weeks) and police certificate from home country, Work exp letters etc.
I am not sure you need that in express entry, but check with someone.
Doh, yep have work exp letters and police certificate from Aus. I don’t need Canadian one apparently.
I think I just need to write some kind of letter regarding my parents giving me money
Hi @vd5724
I applied for my BOWP since April 5 online and till now, no update on my account and my current work permit expires July 31. Can you tell me how long it took yours to be granted?
Well I have submitted everything and I'm trying to apply for my BOWP. I'm going around in circles and I need help as it expires tomorrow. I do the quiz and get my reference code etc and I go to my account and there is nothing in there about doing a open work permit application and I don't know where to go... PLEASE HELP!!
this might help

you need to right an explanation letter including your AOR number and receipt
Well i figured it out but I cant download the forms (5710 etc). Tried redownloading adobe, java, using chrome, safari, two of my bfs computers, Mac and pc. I think ive come to the conclusion I wont be getting my BOWP... work permit expires today and I’m at work until 7.30 tonight. Sigh.
Thanks for your help though
Hello.
I was wondering if i could get some advice on my BOWP and pr situation.
I started my NOC B job on october 8th 2017which means i have to wait till oct 8th 2018 to enter the pool. The thing is my post graduate work permit expires on Nov 3 2018.
My previous plan was changing to a visitors permit and stop working during the pr process. But lately, ive been thinking that i can absolutely apply for BOWP instead.
Through my estimations, they should send invites between oct 17-20th. Do u guys think ill be able to apply for both pr and BOWP before nov 3. So scared that they might even skip inviting for oct. i dont know if i should take the risk to continue working instead of the visitors route.
Thanks
