    for those who have received their BOWP

    Hi Ujbaby, I believe you are talking about applying for BOWP. As far as i know, you dont have to attach the AOR letter, which comes in email. Once you put your client id on the form, CIC can see on the system if they sent you the AOR or not. When i filed for BOWP, I attached a covering letter...

    You dont have to if you dont have an employer. You can simply write 'not applicable' there.

    Passport is returned, but no VISA anywhere?!

    Hi Riponmaki, Firstly, i'm sorry to hear that your application is among the ones impacted by the new law that cancelled all applications before Feb 27, 2008. However, I saw on this forum that a lawyer named David Cohen - started a lawsuit where he is fighting for all such applicants against...

    BRIDGING OPEN WORK PERMIT - DEC 2012 ONWARDS

    That is correct. What matters is that you applied before the expiry of your current work permit. Now CIC will take its own sweet time to process it or request additional docs. You have nothing to worry.

You can follow the September 2012 thread, and you will be in the loop when any of the September 2012 applications starts to get processed. Here is the link where you...

    BRIDGING OPEN WORK PERMIT - DEC 2012 ONWARDS

    Hi Everyone - If anyone got confused by reading the above few responses, please dont be. In this specific case of Alex677 - there is NO INCONSISTENCY by CIC. The person perhaps forgot to mention that s/he already got a positive LMO and that's why the officer did not issue a BOWP. (i discovered...

    BRIDGING OPEN WORK PERMIT - DEC 2012 ONWARDS

    Hi Alex, This again is an example of the consistently inconsistent actions of CIC Visa officers. The positive eligibility as mentioned on the cic website for Bridging Open Work Permit - is the AOR email they send. You have already received that. The BOWP web page clearly states: CEC: the...

    I got laid off today

    Hi OP, Sorry to hear about your job situation. Keep looking you will get something. Regarding CEC application. Just like Seton mentioned - you absolutely have no need to inform CIC about this update. Your CEC application is based on your experience up to the date you send the application. If...

    Am I eligible for CEC? Please advice. Thank You .

    Hi Gagan, If you got an open work permit, then you dont need to worry about the courses your dropped. And you were on a study permit initially, so that is a closed chapter, dont worry about it. The CEC criteria as per Jan 2013, is 12 months of full time work- B category work is awesome - on a...

    BRIDGING OPEN WORK PERMIT - DEC 2012 ONWARDS

    Thanks Ashi for responding. Yes, I did it the same night. Been very much anxious to know if anyone heard anything. I can see CIC has already charged my credit card, but no word or response from CIC so far. Guess it will take 55 days before they will make any noise.

    Applying for sponsorship work permit while on student visa

    Hello Young Lady, Firstly, it rarely happens that a visa officer will want to have a one-to-one interview with you. In my case, the visa officer called my boss and that was just to inquire about the company, my work etc. So don't worry about what you will have to say to the visa officer. Is it...

    Great news for CEC Applicants - OPEN Work Permits now available

    Hi Blch, The letter you received on January 21 is actually an AOR. If you check that email again, I am sure you will find the words "Acknowledgement of Receipt". This means, your application is good to go ahead in the process and as per the criteria mentioned on CIC website for BOWP - an AOR is...

    Toronto vs Vancouver.... better city to live in for Pakistani immigrants

    Salams Fasyy, I guess Leon's advice is most sound. Though i'm not sure if you can make the trip twice, financially that might be little hard specially when you are about to move to a new country. However, it makes perfect sense to first come alone, check out which city would work the best for...

    April 2012 PR applications

    Sandeep has raised a good point. I'm just wondering if Niagra is the only border point where we can get the landed immigrant visa processed. Can we go to other borders as well? Does anyone know of any border point that is less crowded than the Niagra? Thanks.

    WORD OF ADVICE

    Hi Chia, I've been among the ones who never filed for taxes, till i started applying for CEC. I learned that i was supposed to send the NOA along with the documents, but since i had never filed for tax returns in the past 3 years, i was told it will take almost 16 weeks to get it. So, I sent...

    Hi Nikki, While the seniors might be able to give you some experienced response, i was wondering if you've got in touch with CIC to know the progress on your case? You can do that or you can also request for a GCMS notes request to know what part of your application has already been done and...

    BRIDGING OPEN WORK PERMIT - DEC 2012 ONWARDS

    That's my point. Why is 90 days important? If they can rule over the valid work permit rule, not sure why 90 days matter. And for someone reason, my application doesnt go through the online way.

    BRIDGING OPEN WORK PERMIT - DEC 2012 ONWARDS

    Thank you GHboy. Your response does give me lot of courage to apply. You have mentioned about 90 days. Is there any strong basis for that, perhaps you read it somewhere or the officer informed you? Because today was the 90th day - and today i checked this forum and saw your post :( Let me know...
