My BOWP Timeline: Applied Online: March 07 Approved: March 21 Received visa in mailbox: March 27 R.

Ahahha The discussion of "Who is Toby?" would have to eventually come up in this forum. My theory is that Toby is a retired Visa Officer :D (And now Toby is killing himself laughing at this :D ) I believe "Toby" spent many years working with immigration and now he can't just throw all his...

hmmm I see.. interesting! I hope I don't have a criminal namesake out there! Thanks,

Now I'm confused.. Who needs to submit RCMP? I've submitted the police certificate from my country with my CEC application. Will we also have to submit now the RCMP? I hope someone could clarify this. tks, R.

Hi, My BOWP was approved. I applied on March 07 but am not sure of the date it was approved. I just logged into MyCiC and it says "this application has been approved". I was expecting to receive an automatic email from CIC when my application status was updated, but I guess that never happened...

Medabor, I believe it doesn't matter if you choose or the other. Check this forum to help you applying for your OBWP: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/tips-for-a-successful-bowp-application-t147650.0.html R.

OK - Thanks again for your help.

Thanks Toby! As I am currently working and my contract only ends in 2015 I'm not sure what should I put in the end date. Can I leave it in blank? R.

Hi, I've read before in this forum that when applying for the OBWP we should leave the information about our employer in blank, but what about the question about our employment history? Should I say where I'm currently working? I cannot just leave it in blank, right? Thanks, R.

Hi, I'm applying for my BOWP online and my employment history for the past 10 years does not fit on Form IMM5710. I am sure this happened already to some of you. Did you include an extra sheet with the remaining information? But how did you upload it on MyCiC? I only have the option to upload...

If I were you I'd not wait. Yes, chances are that you will hear soon from CIC asking for your MR. But what if, by some unexpected reason your PR application is rejected by CIC? Then you might not have enough time to resubmit other CEC app and get the AOR before your current visa expires. I would...

Hi, Just received my AOR!! App filed in 27Jan, 2014 BOWP comes next! R.

OK - thanks!

Hi Toby, I understand what you're saying about the 'same employer' check box but what about the eligibility questions we have to fill prior to apply for the BOWP, when they ask if we have a job offer? If we are currently working and will continue to work for the same employer, should we say we...

Hi, It depends on the month you've submitted your app. For those who submitted in January 2014 is around 35-40 days. For apps received before Jan'14, the AOR processing time was at +/- 50 days, I believe.

Are you sure your friend didn't have his/her application returned by mail? Keep in mind it would be returned to his/her mailing address and not the residential address (in case is different)

Yahooooooo! My CC was charged today! App received Jan27, 2014 - Now waiting for AOR! (I confess I was already sweating as other Jan27 applicants were charged and I was not....! But is all good now!! ;) )

That's great - congratulations! Are you also under the Province Nominee Program? I've heard CIC prioritize applications with PNP certificate. If you are not under PNP, that's great news for all January applicants!

"Application Sent" is the date you sent your application by mail "Application Received" is the date when CIC actually received your application (usually tracked by courier#)

:s uhmmm I used the checklist as cover and all the documents and forms under the checklist, including the bar codes.... How bad can this be? Not serious, I hope. What do you guys think? Thanks,
