Well your lawyer is right in that the 1st automatic AOR is basically useless when it comes to your BOWP, but you could be waiting for something that's never going to arrive in the 2nd AOR. It just depends how far along your application is with CIC, (ie. have they checked it for completeness). A...

Asivad - CIC have not made any such thing abundantly clear. They still don't seem to be issuing 2nd AORs to the majority of candidates, and it does not follow that everybody who doesn't get one is ineligible for BOWP. CIC are still processing applications for BOWP from April so how can we know...

Not everyone is getting a second AOR, in fact the majority of people (certainly inside Canada) don't seem to get one. People have applied after only receiving the 1st AOR and gotten their BOWP but it is no guarantee that you will get it, it seems to depend if the officer examining your file has...

Well done aj355. Are you applying from inside or outside of Canada?

What form mathewredfearn? If you've applied for PR I think it would be a bad idea to pretend you only want to stay to travel, a misrepresentation can affect your PR application if they find out

Cheers, congrats on your PPR, nearly there now

Did you apply from inside Canada Rashu?

Oh right. Did you go to the border to try to change to visitor status? Hope you get your PR soon, that's very disruptive. And totally unreasonable to assume you're just going to just start working illegally to avoid going home, it's not like Ireland is a warzone

Oh that's interesting (and unfortunate) Canadian_Irish, was this recently? Did you have to go back to Ireland to wait for your PR? Is visitor status the same as just being a tourist in Canada? Because we're allowed do that for 6 months a year anyway from Ireland I thought, is that the same as...

This is a risky stage of the application process - I'm on an IEC and I know a lot of IEC people do go on to implied status after applying for a BOWP, but Scylla who commented earlier, and who seems pretty well informed, mentioned on another thread that he has heard of examples of visa officers...

Yeah they do seem to have ground to a halt. Hopefully it was partly because of Canada day last week, a lot of them probably took time off, maybe it will pick up again this week. Though we are coming in to holiday season too, gah >:(

Congrats Sushi. It seems to take about 1 week for some people. Can I ask when you submitted your application and got your 1st AOR? And are you applying from inside of Canada?

Was your diploma in English or French? If not, then an attested translated copy would have been required

Ugh I want your visa officer Gary ;)

Thanks for the info flytrap, good for you

Did you send translated copies of your diploma cert nat29, or was the diploma cert in English or French? Although I agree that CIC reject applications too quickly, there is usually a reason for these rejections when you dig a little deeper

Good for you esantos

Pedmetric can you tell us when you sent in your app and got your 1st AOR? And are you in Canada? Thanks

What date did you submit your app and get your 1st AOR Rjoy?

Don't worry about it, loads of employers don't have business cards. If they're in doubt about your of work experience they can research it, call them etc... they're not going to care about a missing business card
