    BOWP Tracker

    Hey guys, any updates? I saw that in the PGWP tracker thread they've started working on applications submitted on Feb 5th. Has anyone here who applied in Feb received any updates? (Mine is Feb 6 and nothing so far).

    Anyone from Jan 24 or Jan 27 got it approved (or at least a ghost update) yet?

    BOWP Tracker

    Oh, I'm actually still working for them but on a "casual basis". HR was fine with showing them the application form and receipts as proof of implied status. The issue is that I work at a university and by their internal regulations, they cannot offer a permanent contract to someone who doesn't...

    I applied on Feb 6, and my current work permit expires today. Still no updates. (AOR Feb 5). I'm very anxious, as I have a job offer with the start date of May 22nd, however, as a condition of employment, I have to present them the BOWP by May 17th. May the force be with us. And for people...

    I have a friend who went through this interview, but in Ottawa. She's Russian, CEC inland and applied with her husband (who's a student). She applied in September and got the interview email in February. Her work permit was indeed about to expire a month from the email, but she could have...

    Did any of you apply for a Bridging Open Work Permit in January? If so, any updates on your application?

    I feel you. I was on a similar situation, but thankfully I got my ETA before me WP expired. How many points do you have?

    This page says that you may be eligible if: "your current work permit expires in 4 months or less" https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/work-canada/extend-permit/bridging-open-work-permit.html 1) I believe nothing can stop you from applying, but the officer may...

    Wow, is that new? I did a lot of research in January and I don't recall coming across those links. They made it 100% clear now that I can keep working in implied status while I wait for the BOWP. I am very surprised, that was a grey area for a long time. Thank you so much. I'll talk to my boss...

    When did you apply for your BOWP? I see the current processing time is 89 days, so I expecting mine to be approved around May 3 (3 days before my WP expires). I already told my boss that I might have to stop working for a couple of weeks in may. He wasn't happy about it, but agreed. None of us...

    My WP will expire on May 6. I've applied for a BOWP on Feb 6 and haven't gotten any updates yet. :( Did you get any updates? I'm extremely anxious because my WP is IEC and therefore, I have no implied status on my work permit (when it expires I'll have to stop working until the new one comes in).

    Hi all, Has anyone with a Jan AOR received any updates in their Bridging Open Work Permit applications?

    I know, guys. I'm not worried at all about a status bar. It's probably the most irrelevant thing in that page. hahaha But as a software developer I am just curious as to how it was programmed that way. The inconsistency makes people confused and is something that is usually avoided in software...

    CEC - February 2019

    Sorry, I wasn't very clear. I wanted to know if you told your doctor about any medical conditions that you might have. Anyway, it seems like a bunch of people also got their status changed to "we are reviewing...", so just sit tight and wait. Apparently, this is a thing now. Good luck.

    Quick question, has anyone with a Feb AoR received any updates on their BOWP application? I applied on Feb 5th but still no updates. My current work permit expires early next month and I am deeply concerned that I won't get my BOWP before that happens. I have a job offer that's supposed to start...
