    February 2013 Applications!!!

    I know what you mean with regards to finding out what's in your GCMS notes. But its better to get a sense of what's going on and try to figure out the next step rather than just having to wait forever. The BOWP can be extended. I'm positive you will hear from CIC before May, but just in case...

    ...either. Come to think of it now, I really dunno why I didn't. I called CIC and the agent I spoke to was not aware of Bridging Open Work Permit. I had to reference the bulletin number and she put me on hold. She basically read out what the website says and didn't really answer my question...

    BOWP sabotage by CIC

    Hi Susie, This is a welcome initiative on your part, thank you for the concern and effort to keep CIC accountable. That said, I thought the restrictions were actual restrictions. This could be a statement regarding that the applicant can only work for their current employer and no one else or...

    Need advice! Bridging open work permit and extension

    Hello Attique, Just like JSM said, you will need to get in touch with a lawyer. This will cost you but I guess the lawyers can get in touch with the Visa officers directly. Its a clear mistake. Go to a lawyer, not an immigration consultant. All the best bro.
