Have you been told by an Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada office that you are approved in principle for permanent residence in Canada? Did you get answer to this question while working towards BOWP questionnaire despite having AOR? YES or NO.

Answer is yes if you passed your medical and received a BIL Letter. It indicates your documents were all complete and you have been approved in principle, even though you may not yet have passed eligibility.

Getting mixed answers on that one. Because IRCC website definition says approved in principle has to be received.
