Dont thik you are eligible for BOWP anymore -Hello everyone,
I have question regarding the express entry. Actually, my current situation is that my work permit expired along with that TRV too expired. I am living in India. I am in express entry pool. Once get invite and will receive AOR. How can I apply for BOWP from India. I applied for visitor visa too but its more than 3 months still showing in progress.
Who can apply for a BOWP
To be eligible, you must
- live in Canada (and intend to live outside Quebec) at the time you apply for your BOWP
- You can leave Canada while we process your application.
- However, if you leave Canada after your work permit expires, you can’t work until your new application is approved.
- either
- have a valid work permit
- have an expired work permit but maintained your status as a worker
- be eligible to restore your status and get a work permit
- be the principal applicant on your permanent residence application
- have submitted a complete applicationfor permanent residence and passed the completeness check
- Submitting a profile to the pool is not the same as applying for permanent residence.
- Make sure you understand how Express Entry works.
- have your acknowledgement of receipt letter
- We send this letter to your account after we get your permanent residence application
