Did you mean the progress bar (which is only an indicator of the time elapsed, not the actual processing stage) has started to reappear in the online application or they have started processing applications based on the AOR dates trying to clear backlog ?

Thanks @Wolfpmd3 My job offer letter at the time of AOR has a line which says the current employer's job offer is valid up until 1 year after the PR is issued and I work for the same employer now. As of now, my employer fully supports the job offer. According to the GCMS notes, IRCC has have...

I'm guessing if the principle applicant and members in the application are inland, then IRCC passes the case on to the regional medical officer who may make a call to extend the validity of the medical. If the regional medical officer chooses to do otherwise, then IRCC may contact you to do a...

Did you ask your lawyer why ie if you are applying for BOWP, why your spouse cant apply for Spousal Open Work Permit ? Logically, I believe SOWP's purpose is to give authorization to work for spouse.

Thank you @legalfalcon for explaining this !

@Wolfpmd3, @iiqra I have been working for my employer for two (1+1) years on a closed work permit with LMIA. It was again renewed for two more years (closed WP with LMIA). While on the this work permit, I applied for PR as I already had two years of experience with my employer. I claimed 50...

@annu81 I'm in the same situation, there is a risk of loosing the job due to the pandemic. Did you apply for the BOWP ?

If you are the principle applicant, you can apply for BOWP right and once you apply for BOWP, your husband can apply for SOWP right ?

Okay, the offer letter has both "at least one year after obtaining permanent residency" and "NOC A" mentioned in it and I believe rest of the conditions of 82 (1) are satisfied. However, if they let me go while I'm on BOWP, then logically, the offer letter may not make much sense anymore. Hence...

On the same boat. Inland CEC, Feb 2020 AOR, VO Ottawa.

Thanks @legalfalcon. When you say the job offer has to remain valid, do you mean job offer should have any job start and end date ? As we don't know when the PR would be issued, the employer would not be able to fill in a date I guess. My job offer letter has a line which says the employment is...

Thanks @legalfalcon. I'm gradually getting the picture here. So that mean these clause should be interpreted like if you’re currently working in Canada in a skilled trade job a work permit that was issued based on a positive LMIA, and: (this condition need be met at the time of AOR only) (One...

Resume is asked for security screening as well ? Do they ask for a resume even after eligibility is passed ?

@legalfalcon, thank you very much for the response. Understood that I would at least have to either apply for BOWP or closed Work Permit with new LMIA to get the implied status until the work permit is approved or PR is approved (which ever happens earlier). However, if I take the BOWP path and...

Not sure if there are a lot Feb 2020 AOR still waiting. I'm trying to understand the holdup for inland applicants. If the application has not been touched for a long while, does the applicant have recourse ? I mean there should be some internal standards/deadline they would have set up to...

I'm very glad to see this thread which exactly discusses the situation I'm in. I claimed 50 points for job offer while on a 2 year closed work permit with LMIA . At the time of AOR (Feb 2020), the closed work permit with LMIA still had almost 1.5 years left to expire. Due to the pandemic delay...

Hello everyone. I claimed 50 points for job offer (closed work permit with LMIA), does anyone know, if I could go for a bridging open work permit or should I get my employer apply for an fresh LMIA and get a closed work permit based on that new LMIA. I have already worked for the employer for...

maarib, Thanks.

The initial WES ECA issued on August 2014 is no longer valid from IRCC perspective after August 2019 (5 Years). It needs to be renewed.

@gunneri Could you explain how GTS LMIA could be used for additional 50 points ? GTS LMIA usually states "Temporary Foreign Worker Program" not "Federal Skilled Worker". Can the GTS LMIA for temporary foreign worker program be used towards the additional 50 points if one has a job offer letter...
