Hi thank you for responding.
I thought about applying for BOWP but the agent I spoke to at IRCC on the phone said I cant apply for BOWP yet because I dont have my approved in principle letter which is why I applied to extend my wp under public policy.

oh okay I see! Did you also apply for the PR to TR program? I see you still have a pending PNP apology since June 2020?
I also applied via FSW December 2020 and haven’t heard back.

No right now I am waiting for IRCC to make a decision on my Work permit extension under public policy and my PR.
Work permit takes 87 days to process so I have about 15 days left.
And for PR I have 6 months left.
Hoping for either of them to come asap because my WP is expiring in less than two months.
Ugh its frustrating :/
Did you received any update??? Can you please share. I am also in same situation like you. Very stressed out. I applied on 26th july
No updates
I keep on checking my gckey portal for updates and my email but Nothing at all so far.I can understand. Same with meNo updates
.It will - eventually. I can relate to your frustrations. Sometimes I come here to get comfort that I’m not the only one.
If you’re worried about whether or not you’ll have to leave Canada if your WP expires, you shouldn’t because I read somewhere in the other forum that you’ll be on implied status pending when your application is approved. However, the poster wasn’t very certain as to whether or not you can keep working!
Any ideas?
And on a positive note lots of people on there have been posting their WP approvals - most recent approval was July 22 submission
Congrats! Was your work permit valid when you applied or it was expired?
I applied on 15th June, but nothing so far.
