Hi! We're in the same situation. Please tell your friend to read this page from cic manual. Check the note below.


Bridging open work permit

Foreign nationals in Canada who have received a positive determination of eligibility decision
under the Federal Skilled Worker Class, and whose current temporary resident work permit is
due to expire, may require facilitation that enables them to maintain their status and continue
working in Canada while they await a final decision on their application for permanent residence
in the Federal Skilled Worker Class.

To be eligible for a bridging open work permit, an applicant under the Federal Skilled Worker
Class must meet the following requirements:

• they are currently in Canada;
• they have valid status on a work permit that is due to expire within four months;
• they have received a positive determination of eligibility decision on their application (i.e.
the ÒMinisterial InstructionsÓ status has be set to ÒMetÓ or a positive final determination
of eligibility for processing letter has been sent); and
• they have made an application for an open work permit.
If they are found eligible by the processing office, and there are no medical, criminal or security
concerns, the foreign national will be issued an open work permit for a duration of one year from
the date of issuance.

Note: Taking advantage of the bridging open work permit option has no impact on a skilled
workerÕs eligibility to earn points for arranged employment at the time of visa issuance. An
applicant in the Federal Skilled Worker Class who has received a positive eligibility decision with
an offer of arranged employment will not be found ineligible for points under R82(2) or
permanent residence should they meet the criteria specified above and be issued a bridging open
work permit. However, if the applicantÕs choice to change employers results in the original
employer withdrawing or no longer supporting the original offer of arranged employment, then
the onus is on the applicant to satisfy an officer that they meet the arranged employment
requirement with their new employer (i.e., NOC 0, A or B occupation, new LMO and new
qualifying offer of employment).

Because one condition under arranged employment is you need to have a valid work permit or you are authorized to work in canada from submision of application to the issuance of visa.

1. If ever i am on implied status when my file number arrives, will i be able to apply for BOWP?
2. How long do they usually issue the file number?

I have pending AINP application but no nomination yet, as per advised in other thread i can used it to apply for WP so i can be on implied status.

Thank you!

Hi seaciel!
As far as i know, you can only apply for a work permit if you have your nomination and only then you are on implied status. I suggest that you send fsw application asap so you'll have per in 3-4 months time. You can use per to apply for bowp. Just pray that you'll get nomination before your current work permit expires.

Hello All, I have few queries, please help..

I am currently in Canada on a Spousal Open Work Permit. I'm working as a QA Analyst here which, I believe, falls under NOC 22XX category which is not among the 50 eligible occupations of FSW 2014.

I would like to apply for PR under FSW 2014 but my eligible experience is under the category 2173.

So my queries are:

1) Can I apply for FSW with NOC 2173 as primary category and show my job offer in Canada, which is under another NOC, as Arranged Employment?
2) Does my employer have to show LMO as I am currently working under an LMO exempted category (Spousal Open Work Permit and my spouse works for a job which is in NOC A)?
3) Till what date has the applications for FSW 2014 under arranged employment been taken till now?

Any inputs will be highly appreciated.

Thanks!

I think you have to mail them on the address they provided along with any other document they requested. This how they asked me to send receipt and medical confirmation by mail
