Sorry to hear about your situation too.. If my employer gets me an LMIA , can I get a work permit on the basis of that right away? How long are we talking from the point an LMIA is approved?

My only concern is that getting rejected on the BOWP application should not have a detrimental effect on my PR application going forward. I would be ok with not working for 3-4 months if it means getting a PR at the end of it.

I am at 469 and my PGWP expires on April 25, 2016. Should I hit the panic button now?! two more draws to get that ITA and apply for BOWP. I have all my documents ready and medical is also going to be completed this week...

I am on PGWP and my points just went up to 469 this month. I am hoping to get ITA next week. Do I need to wait for ITA to get my medical started? The only reason I am rushing is because by PGWP expires end of April and I want to get my BOWP application in for implied status before then. Any...

Hi all, My points are at 469 on my EE profile and im expecting ITA next week under CEC. I am trying to get my documents ready asap for the AOR so i can apply for BOWP that expires end of April. Question: Does the medical need to be complete to receive AOR or are the other documents enough?

I am expecting ITA in the next draw as my scored just went up to 469 last week. Do I need to pass medical to get the AOR? I ask because I need to apply for BOWP before April 24th! Does anyone have a link to document list for AOR if I am applying under CEC? Thanks!

So my points are now at 469 and expecting the ITA next week, I might be a little shy of 2 years work experience but I have to apply coz I need my BOWP to stay here past April 25th since that is when my PGWP expires. What are my options here?

Great, yea I am hoping my points to go up to 469 tomorrow and then the ITA comes in the next draw on March 9th. The only problem is that I need to get my AOR asap since my PGWP expires on April 25th. Does anyone have any advice on what my options are if I cannot get my AOR in time?
