If you have requested for a BOWP, what is the status of your WP?
to apply for a BOPW you have to meet the following:
- live in Canada (Quebec not included)
- have a valid work permit that expires in 4 months or less
- be the principal applicant on your permanent residence application
- have submitted a complete application for permanent residence and passed the completeness check
- have your acknowledgement of receipt letter
- we send this letter to your account after we get your permanent residence application
Which would mean that you have a WP, which is about to expire.
