usually aligns with when your temp UCI changes to your actual UCI in the online portal. Typically the same time as when BIL is sent and medical passed but those have been all over the place during covid. in my gcms notes it 100% aligned with the UCI update

an update (pasting my last post below for reference!)

i just got a "your application is updated" email, went in and can now see that my BOWP online portal page has my actual UCI and my biometrics info connected. There was also the WP ext letter others have noted receiving. Basically seems like a written confirmation if implied status, and refers to the implied status clause of immigration policy.

Today was the last day of my current WP, and the end date on the letter is 4 months away so I guess they're assuming coverage for the typical BOWP processing time.

paste from the letter:

"This confirms that your application has been received by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) on [Dec 14th - date I applied]. Please attach this letter to your present work permit Number [doc number of my permit] as proof that you are authorized to continue working with the same conditions (ie: employer and occupation) until April 16th 2021 or until a decision is made on your application, whichever is first. This extended period of work is authorized as per subsection 186(u) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations. If you leave Canada before a decision is made on your application, you will no longer be authorized to continue working. "

I didn't get an AOR yet. Just the confirmation of online transmission. I called IRCC today and they said AOR will come when they start processing the application (with PR some of this first checks is automatic which is why you get AOR right away for pr). They said the confirmation of online transmission is the minimum you need for implied status.

I also realised right after I submitted that I forgot to attach my PR AOR because there wasn't a document upload field for it.

but I had mentioned in some questions and my LOE that I have a PR app in progress. I had assumed they didn't need it because they asked for UCI etc. Silly mistake. I sent it right away via webform.

part of the reason for calling was panic that I'd get rejected for completeness before the webform is processed as those are taking two weeks these days but the agent said they think it will be fine.

Learned something new today, interesting! I screenshot the page of my application after every change, and I had never noticed the UCI having changed. The UCI it is showing now is the same they used for my other work permit applications in the past couple of years. Interesting!

If I recall correctly, at AOR it's a temp number with leading zeros then when they do the completeness check they validate your previous UCI that you provided in the application. When they "accept" that connection is real the temp number changes to your actual one. At least this is how it was in May when I applied :)

the verifications are detailed in one of the first "notes" blocks in a gcms report.

You can apply it right away. However until r10 completeness check is done, your application wouldn't be picked for processing

Can anyone advise of a consultancy firm for immgration that would file BOWP? I am unable to verify If I am doing it right. Not much information to go around on filing it and I dont want to mess it up either

Applied for BOWP Oct 5, 2020 and just received an update. I assume I will be receiving the approval later today.

Application extended for 1 year? What do you mean by that? Did they approve your bowp? Or something else?
