Applying for BOWP since my PGWP will be expired in May, not sure how.

I heard that you have to wait for the second AOR in order to do so, some says just go ahead with the e-AOR which is automatically generated right after submitted the application online. Also, should we apply online or doing paper application?

I am very confused, not sure wat to do?
 
Not everyone received second AOR. If you have one right now, apply for BOWP. I think online is much faster than paper application.
 
Hi,

What is important - when CIC will review your application to issue BOWP, your eligibility check should be completed.
You didn't provide any info - if you have received an ITA and already applied what is your AOR date?

If your work permit is expired on May 2016, I'd suggest to apply for bridge at the end of April 2016.

I am going to submit my application this week. So should I apply my BOWP right the way with e-AOR this week? or should I wait for a bit for CIC to do some checking?
 
You have the AOR already, it won't make any difference if you wait.

I am going to submit my PR application online through Express Entry this week. So you think I should wait for a bit for CIC to do some checking before I apply BOWP with my e-AOR? I am thinking apply right the way for shaving off some time

You have a lot of time to apply! I applied to extension in the last day when my permit was expired (was not my mistake, just lawyer...). Received new permit without any problems.

There was one case in this forum - application for BOWP was rejected when EE application was in process.

I'd wait a little bit.

Thank you for your suggestion, SvetaB !
