Hi, can you tell me how applying for BOWP differs from applying for any other work permit? Is there a catch on how to make sure they actually approve a BOWP, instead of giving me another employer-restricted work permit extension? I have applied for work permits online before, so I am familiar...

after just over 5 months of waiting, I finally got my nomination. applied on 25 April in semi-skilled category as long haul truck driver, received email with nomination on 29 september. Phew.

Congratulations! I went to BCPNP office today to ask in person what is going on with my application, it has been well over 4 months since I applied. They told me there was no guarantee on timeframes, that the info on their website is only approximate, that each case is individual, but then...

Oh, I hear you. You are not alone in your predicament, I know of many cases, me included, who went through same. I am now on my second LMIA, after two years in one company which was like yours from your description, I hunted for a new LMIIA and now applied with their support. Two years wasted...

Hm, the email didn't give me any deadline. Quote: " I am writing to you from the BC Provincial Nominee Program. I am in the process of due diligence on your application. Please forward me a copy of your Class 1 Drivers License. Regards." Could be because in my case they have breached their own...

Yes, I have a wife. She will try at the border first. If they refuse, apply online. At the border, she gets it on the spot, while online it's a 4 month wait. We know both case scenarios, some people are refused while other people get it, seems it depends on the officer's mood.. No news from the...

Update: I received the same request in email today, asking for Class 1 driver's license. I had uploaded it in my application, but didn't want to be a smartass and point that out, so just sent it to them in reply email. Let's see what happens now. Employer says still no contact. I used to work...

Oh, good news! We are also doing it without a representative. &*%$!! so you applied in June and already received an email - we applied in April, and absolutely no news from them. ??? We uploaded the copy of class 1 driver's licence when we applied. So, does everyone get an email notification...

Hi Yelenah, Have you applied yet? How are things progressing with you guys? No news on my application...

I was invited on April 8, submitted on April 25, and still not a peep. The employer says they haven't contacted him yet. Am trying to relax and be positive about the outcome, but by now of course I can't help but run gloomy scenarios in my mind, and wonder what might be wrong with my...

Hi, I don't think anyone here can give you a definite answer, your guess is as good as any. It will be up to the officer who reviews his file. The rules are clear, the 9 months requirement is cause of frustration for many of us semi-skilled workers. Am afraid there is nothing else you can do but...

I got ITA on 8 April and submitted the application yesterday. Same as you, my LMIA also says 50 hrs of duty and the job offer says 60 hrs. Also, in the meantime they increased my salary from originally 23.5$ to 24$ (they did this for the whole company, not just for temporary foreign workers)...

Abbotsford is in Fraser Valley, so you get 2 points for that.

Hi, I registered in semi-skilled category, how can I input my data into the tracker spreadsheet?
