Hello everyone,
I really hope that there is someone out there who could help me with my issue. My situation is as follows:
I currently hold an employer-specific work permit that expires Apr 14, 2020; I work full-time as postdoctoral research fellow since Apr 13, 2018. I've applied for Permanent Residency (PR) through the Express Entry Program and my application is still being processed. I received the acknowledgement letter of my PR application submission and have an estimated date of completion set to Apr 24, 2020.
Since I signed last December 2019 an official offer to start a new job at a start-up company on March 02, 2020, I applied via mail (somehow it wasn't possible to apply online) for a Bridging open work permit (BOWP). Unfortunately, I have no news about my application (i.e. no acknowledgement letter) since the delivery confirmation of my application package which has been dropped of in Edmonton on December 23, 2019.
So, is there any chance that I can start my new job on March 02, 2020? I guess that I really have to wait till they made a decision on my BOWP in order to be eligible to start a new job at a new employer, right?
Thanks to everyone who response!
