    RPRF online payment issues

    I used a debit card for the payment. I called the bank, but the payment went through. Now I think it's up to CIC to find it in their system, but I'm not sure how that would work. And yeah, I sent an email to the web help as well. I am just panicking a bit because my RPRF has to be received by...

    RPRF online payment issues

    Hi guys, I paid my RPRF through the Interac Online application. Unfortunately, the page after I confirmed the payment failed to load. As a result I haven't received a receipt that I can mail to CPP-O to show them I paid. However, on my online banking, it shows the $490 was payed to CIC. I sent...

    BOWP not available for QSW applicants?!

    I called CIC regarding my refused work permit and was told that BOWP doesn't exist for QSW applicants. Only provincial nominees from other provinces could have an open WP, and that the error in my application was asking for an open one instead of a LMIA-exempt closed WP. The agent sent me this...

    Please help! BOWP refused without reason -- next steps?

    Moonbow2010, once you apply, even if it is 1 day before the expiry of your last WP, they have to treat it as normal. This is how/why you have implied status until they make a decision on your application. I applied for PR under QSW, and my CSQ & PGWP are both open to any employer.

    Please help! BOWP refused without reason -- next steps?

    My medicals have been updated as received in ECAS. I waited so long to apply for BOWP because I had not yet received AOR (positive eligibility) on my PR application. Otherwise BOWP would probably have been refused anyway! Astasi: I tried calling CIC but they said call volume was too high. I...

    Please help! BOWP refused without reason -- next steps?

    Yes, JMGRL. I have a PR application in process since May and have already done medicals! I can call CIC but they say on the website that they cannot give information about specific cases, so I don't know what they can tell me.

    Applying for BOWP with Implied Status

    I have a somewhat similar question. I applied for BOWP and it was refused, but they gave me no reason. I got a letter saying my temporary status expires TODAY (the day they made the decision, however my actual WP expired on Aug 10). My question is this: if I apply for another BOWP today, am I...

    Please help! BOWP refused without reason -- next steps?

    Hi guys. I applied for a BOWP on Aug 5 (my PGWP expired Aug 10 + I had received AOR Jul 29) and it was refused. However they did not tell me WHY it was refused. From here I am wondering what to do. The letter suggested applying for restoration + work permit, but I thought I can't apply for a...

    Hi, guys! I just applied for a BOWP at the beginning of August and received a notification asking for additional documents.
