BOWP from Quebec

Hello,

I applied to EE under CEC in August from Quebec and currently in IP2. My intention is to leave Quebec and settle in Ontario whenever I find a job or become a PR. I have family and friends in Ontario and I have studied there. Currently I am employed in Montreal and my PGWP expires in late April. My questions are
1. Is it possible to extend my work-permit through BOWP program from Quebec and still work in Montreal while waiting for my PR? or Shall I move out first and then apply for the BOWP?
2. If I apply for extension through Quebec (which is a closed work-permit) would it negatively impact my EE application? The reason I am asking is that based on the CIC website Quebec residents are not eligible for BOWP but on their website it clearly says if I am in quebec and hold a CSQ (which I do) I can extend my stay though Quebec. But then I am confused if it is a negative point as I have intended I will move out of Quebec...

Hi rajahoomi,


Did you get your work permit?

Currently, I am in montreal but I will move to Ontario since my quebec employer offers me a remote position.

Also, could we quit the remote job of quebec employer and apply BOWP without any job?

Thank you so much

Yes... I don't think you are even required to live in Ontario. You are applying for an OPEN WORK PERMIT and you are allowed to work anywhere in Canada...

Thank you so much for your answer, but do we need a job offer when we apply BOWP after moving to Ontario ?

Since, my Quebec employer offers me a remote position, I am not sure if this will have negative effect on my application.

Is it better if I quit/reject this remote offer?

HI Raja

I applied for EE from Oct 2018 and still waiting (@@, it is too long and have no idea what happens even with gcms note). My OWP will expire on Jan 2020. I will apply for BOWP a few months later after moving to ontario.
