1.) should be fine
2.) if your PGWP expires expire within 4 months from the date you apply for the extension before July 27th 2021, your eligible to get the extension. If not, your also not eligible for BOWP.

Nothing has been mentioned about uploading back of the photo in IRCC website and I never had to upload the back of the photo in my previous applications, but we shall wait and see...I doubt it
IRCC tweeted that BWOP won’t be eligible for this stream. If you can’t get the PGWP extension, I’d recommend going after CEC or PNP to save you the hassle of getting LMIA.
Only a few more days to go...
Really hoping we get an updated Imm 0008 and/or program checklist tomorrow.
Other than that, I think that after 98 pages most people in here are pretty prepared for the application day.
We’ll be basically competing against each other but that doesn’t mean we can’t try and help each other out. Personally I’m not trying to hoard any information, I hope everyone in this thread can get into the program and share our timelines later on.
Saying this because I’ve seen messages in some communities trying to discourage eligible people from applying or intentionally misleading them. We’re not like that in here. So I wish you all the best.

Of course! there are nowhere near 40,000 people actively following updates and preparing so I'm not worried about us being competition to each other.
If you have a common name or last name that matches someone with a criminal record’s, they might ask for one to make sure it’s not you.
It takes around 2-3 weeks to get it, it’s normally included in the processing time.
I personally got one upfront because it could save me 3-4 weeks of processing times and could speed up my criminality/security/background check stage.
When there was the 27k CEC draw, many people requested it at once and RCMP took longer to process them. If the stream fills up quickly there are chances many people will request them later and processing times to obtain them will take longer as well.
Well are you eligible for the PGWP extension?
See the requirements
To be eligible for this open work permit, you must meet the following 5 requirements:
- Your post-graduation work permit (PGWP)
- expired on or after January 30, 2020, or
- will expire within 4 months from the date you apply for this open work permit.
- You were in Canada as of January 27, 2021, when the public policy took effect, and have stayed in Canada since then.
- You either
- have a temporary resident status (this could be from having a valid PGWP, visitor record, or another permit that allows you to stay in Canada), or
- lost your temporary resident status, but you’ve already applied to restore it, or
- lost your temporary resident status, but you’ll apply to restore it at the same time as applying for this open work permit
- You include in your application that you’re applying for an open work permit under this public policy.
- You have a valid passport.
- The work permit will be issued for up to 18 months from the date of approval or until your passport expires, whichever comes first. For example, if your passport is valid for 6 months, then you will be issued an open work permit for 6 months.
- To maximize the duration of the open work permit, make sure your passport is valid for at least 18 months from the date of approval.
Say if you apply on July 27th 2021 and your PGWP expires AFTER 4 months from the date of application (say December 2021), your not eligible.
Yes its fine don't worry about it as they need to be sure that this person who is applying has or is working here and not that he/she lives here as that more is the work of your car insurance company when file a claim and not IRCC. I hope it makes sense
