Applying for BOWP - Not giving the option to apply for boWP before TRV

[Hehree]

Hi, I just submitted my PR application and got the AoR.

Following the links and the questions to apply for a BOWP I'm now going straight to apply for a TRV.

Q1. Is this right? I didn't even have the option to do the work permit first. Both my PGWP and TRV are expiring at the same time, and I remember that normally (for study permit at least) you extend the study permit first, in this case applying for BOWP.

Among the documents that I need to submit are:
- Application for Visitor Visa (Temporary Resident Visa) Made Outside of Canada (IMM5257) (required)
Q2. The "Made Outside of Canada" line worries me, I made sure that I select Canada as my current place of residence.

Below is the full list, does this look right? Please if anyone has an idea, my PGWP (and TRV) is expiring soon. Thank you!

You are likely answering something in the questions wrong.

You answered some questions wrong.
Make sure to choose that your PR application has been approved in principle. You are working in Canada temporarily for more that 6 months. That should give you an option to apply for open work permit

Thank you I chose Approve on Principle and that gave me access to OWP form. I just didn't know AoR == AiP ? In any case I tried all combinations, lowered my age, etc.. (just to test!), in the end the AiP is what fixed it.

Thanks!
