Guys, I have a few questions. I got a refusal for my BOWP application today stating that I needed to submit proof that I submitted a PR application. I did submit my AOR with my work permit application, so I wasn't sure what was going on, so I immediately called IRCC.

The first agent went through the application and confirmed that I did submit my AOR with my work permit application, she said she can see it, and I am eligible since I am a CEC applicant who applied for it 30 days before the expiry of my current permit; so acknowledging that the refusal might be in error, she requested reconsideration. I called again after a while and connected to another agent, who confirmed that he can see my AOR, and confirmed that the reconsideration request was already sent.

I think the visa officer who initially refused the application didn't see the AOR as it was attached as the second page of my LOE (they probably didn't scroll).

I am very confused about what I should do now:
  1. I am very sure that the refusal was in error (based on my correspondence with the IRCC call centre agents), and since the reconsideration request in on its way, what do I do with my work? I have told my employer that I am going to stop working immediately until I hear back from IRCC about my application. I am curious to know if I still have implied status.
  2. Do I need to file an application to restore my status? or should I just wait till I hear back from IRCC about the reconsideration.
  3. For folks who submitted reconsideration requests, how long did it take for you to hear back from IRCC?
  4. The status of my application on their website still says "Refused", is this going to ever change during this reconsideration process, or will it stay like that?
I appreciate any responses you folks may have as I am going through a really hard time. Thank you.
They will reopen it after reconsideration. Nothing to worry about, it was an error on their end.

Hey,

Without stating the obvious, did you apply for the correct BOWP? when I did it there were 2 options available.

You wanted the 'open work permit' option
Hello,

Yes I did select the Open Work Permit option.

Thanks. I am hoping to say that soon.
Still, I have the following

2. Approval for address and photo verification
3.Making eCOPR available online.
Congrats on your COPR!
What information did you have to reply back to confirm your address and your photo? I am waiting for the same e-mail and want to make sure I have as much ready as possible.

Congrats! Could you share your eligibility, criminality... timeline and VO ?
I do not know the exact dates but before November everything was in progress except eligibility was recommended passed.
I called twice call center ones in November and then in December. November mid eligibility got cleared and December beginning other phases completed.
VO ottawa but email came from etobicoke.

Thanks for sharing. Congrats again!

Hi guys. My eligibility and security are passed but my criminality is in progress. Is it normal to pass your security before your criminality? Would this have anything to do with the PCC submitted from my home country by any chance?
