    ...go ahead and apply. I think there's a chance it will be done before November. At worst, I think you can just apply for a bridging open work permit or change your status to visitor in Canada, as you have to keep legal status in Canada if you choose to stay while your PR application is being...

    Haven't received Medical request and Work Permit in Expiring - Please Help

    ...by yourself, it's a very simple form to fill. Also, if you haven't landed by May yet (seeing that your PGWP expires in August), you should consider applying for the Bridging Open Work Permit. You can only apply for that within 4 months of your PGWP expiration. It is too early now to do this.

    I am also in a similar position as you, my CRS is maxed out at 469 with CLB 10 in IELTS and I lost 5 points due to age last month but unlike you, my CRS will drop to 463 next November, hopefully I get an ITA before then.

    Ray of Hope - 133rd Draw

    You can apply for the BOWP once you get an AOR which is sent by IRCC after you make your electronic Application for Permanent Residence (e-APR) following an ITA Love your positivity , I believe the scores will drop as well to at least mid 460s

    Working Holiday visa to Open work permit or other???

    Based on what you've stated, there isn't any reason you could apply for an Open Work Permit. However, the IEC is one type of OWP - but you must apply for the IEC, not just an OWP. OWP are for very specific circumstances and nothing I've read or seen would fit into your situation. (Even being...

    Will be able to re-enter Canada on my existing VISA and WP? (BOWP and PR)

    I don't have any experience with this kind of application, but my impression is that 1) You probably ought to be permitted to enter Canada, if you have proof of funds to support yourself. You should also carry with you the AOR showing that you're eligible for a BOWP. The main difficulty is if...

    Refused due to wrong NOC code

    BOWP = Bridging Open Work Permit. It's something that immigration started in December for applicants waiting for their PR when their work permit is about to expire. Read about it here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/bulletins/2012/ob485.asp AOR = Acknowledgement of Receipt. This...

    Inland Application 2011

    I was also confused with how the "implied status" worked for ppl who applied inland under spouse/common-law sponsorship. But what I did, I applied for a visitor's visa before the expiry of my work permit. I also applied for a student's visa and restoration status (since I didn't receive the...

    Applying for BOWP with AOR, Do I need an LMIA?!

    Thanks for responding. That is the exact link I was using to get the info... These are my answers to the questionnaire. With these answers, I'm expected to have an LMIA. Is there anything I'm missing here? What is your current immigration status in Canada? Worker Does one of the following...

    Need advice. Worked illegally for a few weeks.

    You must be truthful on application and being asked verbally. Hiding the fact that you've worked illegally, is considered misrepresentation which can revoke your PR or Citizenship if CIC finds out in the future.

    CEC application mistake!

    Hey Channel14, Please let me know of your status update. I am curious because I did the same misunderstanding and submitted my e-APR on Jan12, 2018 but due to switching of jobs I was at 51 weeks of experience. So, I withdrew my application and have resubmitted under a new express entry profile...
