Hi all, I talked with the lawyer, they said they have managed lots of cases like this before and they were pretty confident in the procedure. According to them, what I have is enough to apply for BOWP (I'm at the AOR stage, with biometric appointment letter). This will allow me to keep the...

Thanks for the info, that would be great news for me. Have you already heard back?

they did ask for an additional document (just resubmit and update one date for one address), but at the same time I was issued UCI, EP number and sent biometric appointment letter. So do I take this is complete and I can apply for BOWP? Why do they never call all the stages what they are...

Check the link I posted above, when you select quebec skilled worker it explains that. I'll come back on Monday with answers from the lawyer and confirmations. So far it's just how I understand that text.

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/work-canada/extend-permit/bridging-open-work-permit.html Here says you need to have passed completeness check (when you select Quebec skilled workers, which is my case). So far my application starts with EP which is temporary...

Is this the case for the Quebec province though? As far as I understand from IRCC website, in the specific case of Quebec, AOR is not sufficient for BOWP application, but needs the next stage I.e. having passed the completeness check (R10) and having an application number starting with E...

I asked some friends and it seems like it's the AOR. However, it seems that for Quebec in particular having the CSQ, the AOR is not sufficient for applying for the BOWP as we need the R10 that is the acknowledgment of completeness of the dossier, which takes a few more weeks (for example, I need...

Maybe this is an obvious question, but what does the AOR look like? I have received an email (including my UCI and application No) from the IRCC saying in the email text "This confirms that your application for permanent residence in Canada has been received by Immigration, Refugees and...

Thanks, indeed I contacted a lawyer and I am waiting for a consultation. If I switch to visitor, can I restore to worker once I receive the AOR? Or the restoration process is only for when you don't renew your status in time (so if I would let my work permit expires and have no legal status)...

Thanks @andresvc21 , it's very kind of you to ask for my situation. What they told you makes sense, I just need to check that in my situation I meet the requirements to restore to a worker status (as I so far have no job offer and my contract will end in mid February, that's why it's tricky)...

Hi, I was told the situation is complicated and there may be some grey area, so better to consult an immigration lawyer. I will do a one off consultation and come back here with the reply.

Hi, I also used an immigration lawyer for my CSQ and it cost me around 4k, so I am trying to handle the RP on my own since I'll be unemployed soon. I'll talk to a local representative today or in the next days about this situation and will come back to you with their advice.

Thanks, for the explanation, so to be 100% clear, one last thing> 1. Permit expires mid February. Apply for visitor status in a couple of weeks if I haven't received AOR 2. Past mid February, after I receive AOR, within the 90 days (hopefully) a. Apply for status restoration - from...

Thanks a lot for taking the time for the detailed reply. I see conflicting info about sending BOWP request with or without AOR and whether that would be refused (e.g. explaining AOR would arrive a bit later - I do think I have a valid case due to almost 2 months delay with canada post, but not...

Thanks for the reply! Question about scenario 2: What happens if your BOWP gets refused (e.g. they open it before your AOR arrives and can be attached, or they don't accept lack of AOR), and what is your status then? Do you ever need to apply for visitor status in the meantime or you just...

Nope, unfortunately the work permit was tied to a fellowship with a fixed duration, and that funding will be over.

Any ideas for my situation? thanks a lot to anyone who can help!

Any leads on this? Should I consult my immigration lawyers again? They took 4k for the CSQ so I was trying to handle the PR on my own. Thanks!

@andresvc21 How was the meeting with your lawyer?
