I think you ordered notes (ATIP) ; and I am planning to order one next week. May I ask - did you order through "Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) Online Request" website ?
if yes, what option you selected in this section : *Please select the Department where you would like to submit an Access to Information or Privacy request.

Thanks @legalfalcon ,

Which option should I select while filling up BOWP application?

1) Apply for a work permit with the same employer
2) Apply for a work permit for the first time or with a new employer
3) Restore my status as a worker
4) Get a new temporary resident permit

Please suggest which one would fit my current situation as I am on a closed work permit?

Thanks in advance.

Apply for a work permit for the first time or with a new employer

@legalfalcon : Need your confirmation please.
My AOR is 16th Oct R10 completed at Sydney,NS then file moved to Ottawa.
Current Status : Eligibility passed , Criminality passed , Info Sharing : Complete , Security : Bot started yet. As per my multiple calls with IRCC every IRCC agent gave the same status and told my file is currently at Ottawa which is my secondary VO and primary was Sydney NS.
I have been questioned and told that the status given to me by the IRCC agents can’t be correct as after the eligibility file is transferred to LVO which for Indian Applicants is NDVO. Which is where the criminality and info sharing is done and security as well. And any Indian applicantion can’t be at any other VO other than NDVO after eligibility. For me it is Ottawa.
Kindly clarify the air pls.
That it is not a hard and fast rule that all the Indian applications Will be moved to NDVO after eligibility and whose is not transferred is a cause of concern ???
A VO doe snot matter and a file can be completely processed at a VO in Canada and even a PPR can be issued by a VO in Canada before the application is moved to LVO.

It all depends on work load distribution and your individual application.

Instead you can send a webform for more clarity or request your GCMS notes.

For webform status, see https://bit.ly/3albF7U

If you have already applied, send a webform and clarify that you want to apply for BOWP and not extend your WP.

@legalfalcon Need your inputs as my case is very tricky not sure how to proceed.

I completed the biometric (Me + Spouse) on 8th December. Since that date Biometrics Number got updated in the application BUT status in the account never changed and it is still showing "“we have not received your fingerprints”.

I raised web form and I got following answer " We verified the information on file and are pleased to confirm that the biometric information was received by the responsible office. "

I called then and I got following answer " They have the fingerprints for both of us but prints are in review due to some reason." No subsequent action was suggested to me.

Case remains as it is till today.

Meanwhile my company filled ICT WP for me as I am taking transfer in Canada. In that application IRCC replied " We can't use the existing fingerprints as the quality of the same is not good. You have to redo the biometrics" I got the BIL for me (Not for the spouse)

With this background the question is ,

- After completing the new biometric for my WP application will the Biometric on my PR application will get completed ?
- For my PR application they have not asked me to redo biometrics YET. I will inform them post my biometrics via webform. Do I need to inform them ?
- Not heard anything YET for my spouse open WP application tagged with me. Can I assume her prints are acceptable ?

I imagine your company is working with a lawyer on the ICT? I did one earlier this summer, and it was more complicated that the EE application (which I also did this year) so I did get legal advice on that one.

In some cases the finger prints are not clear, which could be due to many reasons. The officer has the discretion t ask for a new finder prints if required.
See https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/identity-management/biometrics/administration/fingerprints.html

If you give fingerprints one more time, then the new ones can be substituted for the current ones you gave for the PR application. And if the reason for poor quality, that will be addressed.
You don't have to, as it will be available in the system anyway. But you can send a webform. No harm.

Most likely yes, if not, then you will get a decision soon.
