For question 3 on the BOWP application form, what do you put? I am applying for one or more of the following: A work permit with the same employer A work permit with a new employer Restoration of temporary resident status as a worker Initial temporary resident permit or extension of...

In question three where it says "I am applying for one or more of the following" what do you select if its a BOWP?

Thank you. I will do that. Have you filled in the application form for the BOWP? I'm slightly confused in how to fill it out and would appreciate some help if you've done so already.

Thanks for the info. Just to clarify, you're saying apply for an open work visa before my BOWP? Or is it the same thing? I'm confused. Basically I need to send in an application tomorrow, to get implied status. Should I fill out the same form "application to change status" and just select open...

My current IEC open work permit expires on April 10th and I have applied for my Permanent Residence which was received in Sydney on March 11th. I still have not heard back regarding an AOR but reading current processing times from other applicants it seems mine should arrive around April...

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me. My current IEC open work permit expires on April 10th and I have applied for my Permanent Residence which was received in Sydney on March 11th. I still have not heard back regarding an AOR but reading current processing times from other applicants it seems...

Thank you for your reply. This is exactly what I've been told to do by a few people. Submit for the BOWP anyways and hope for the best. I know the CEC doesn't give implied status but the BOWP does (well the application process anyways). I think they should be able to look up your file and see if...

My application for Permanent Residency was submitted last week and it was received at the CIO, Sydney March 11th and current work visa expires April 10th. I know, I know.....I'm cutting it fine, but it took me this length to get documents together and especially since they changed the programme...

Hi, I know that AOR is technically required to apply, however, I read somewhere on this forum that someone applied after they had implied/visitor status and still got approved for the BOWP. I'm wondering if I apply for the BOWP without AOR, knowing I'll get rejected without it, but while I have...

Ok, I knew applying for the work permit puts me in implied status straight away. Does implied status only last for a certain length of time or until a decision has been made?

I have recently submitted my application for permanent residence to Canada via the CEC programme. In December it was announced that a new Bridge Open Work Permit would apply to people currently awaiting a final decision on their permanent residence applications, and who have less than four...

Hi. If I do not have a representative, do I still need to submit the Use of Rep form? If so, how is this filled out because I am neither appointing a rep or canceling one. thanks

Thank you. I'll just ignore it for now then. :)

Hi, I'm about to pay my fees online and I see a Right of Residence Fee for $490 in addition to the CEC fee of $550. Do I have to pay the $490? I don't see this being asked when I printed out the fee form if I were to pay by credit card or certified cheque and include that with my application...

Thanks, I think its just birth cert that needs to be submitted as a copy, right? Does this have to be notarized?

HI, The CEC requires copies only of birth cert and police cert, but do these need to be notarised? I mean, do they need to be signed by a notary public to confirm that these are in fact legitimate copies? thanks

This is practically my exact situation. My visa expires April 10th and I am applying to CEC now. By the time I get all my documents together and write my english test, I'll be looking at March 1st for my application to be sent in and if I don't get my AOR before April 10th, then I have to leave...

Hi, Has anyone applied for the new bridging visa which is applicable since Jan 2013? If so, how do you apply? I need to send in an application with my CEC application. I also need to send in an application to extend my work visa which will ultimately get refused but I will be on implied status...

Hi, I hope someone can help me. Since CIC changed the rules to 12 month work experience in Canada, I have become eligible to apply because I came to Canada in Jan 2011 under my first IEC. I worked from March until December in two different companies but doing the same job (Administrative...
