BOWP Tracker 2020

[louloulemon]

We'll get ours soon. We applied on the same day, will keep you posted on my progress, if any.

Edit: you passed all your stages on your PR application right? There is a chance that your BOWP might not get processed prior to your COPR being issued.

Well this is what the agent told me on the phone but the same day later I got a request for providing receipt of biometrics fee while exempted and given in 2019..... Makes total non sense so I don't know which one will finish first or if they even gonna finish one day. I'm desperate

They send you the physical WP in the mail. You can’t download it. Congrats!

I applied for the BOWP (and SOWP for my partner) on March 16 and have not heard anything. Seems like most people are getting approved much faster. My partner was in Canada at time of application but has since back to the US for work, and needs SOWP approval to return to Canada. Hope that’s not complicating things. Anyone have thoughts on this or in a similar situation?
