That’s exactly what I was wondering. Maybe he got a lil comfortable and was enjoying the CERB money
It isn’t the sort of example that should be leading attempts at press interest, seeing as IRCC could simply turn around and state that this applicant didn’t exhaust all options available to them. Ugh.

Trying to understand why this person didn’t apply for a BOWP, or am I reading this wrong?
I am asking myself the same question. My experience, I had applied for BOWP, it expired while PR application in progress, and I reapplied for a second BOWP, all approved.

I did not know either that we can get BOWP multiple times. Is it written somewhere on IRCC website? Could you please direct me to their webpage stating that? Does it come with 1-year validity each time?

The open work permit is issued under the authority of paragraph R205(a) and coded as follows:

  • LMIA exemption code: A-75
  • NOC: 9999
  • Intended Occupation: open
  • Case Type: 27 – Under examination
  • Duration: 12 months
Subsequent requests from applicants to extend their stay on an open work permit are to be considered on a case‑by‑case basis.

What is the difference between this public policy work permit extention stream and BWOP?

Is it only the duration and public policy stream is a one time opportunity.

My work permit expiring soon :(

The public policy applies to those with an expiring post graduation work permit. The open permit issued under the public policy is a one time permit valid for up to 18 months if you apply online by July 27, 2021

A BOWP can be applied for as long as the applicant has 4 months or less remaining on their current, valid work permit AND has submitted a PR application that is currently in progress.

Thank you for your prompt response.

My work permit expiring within on Aug 5, 2021, also my CEC application is still in process and 6 months passed.
Can I apply for the public policy thing instead of BOWP?

I hope you can excuse that we are from the first part of September and not from August: holding up and hoping for the best.
Got our first doses of mRNA vaccine in Canada and Europe. The Second dose will be this week and once it's done I'll be trying my luck to apply for the TRV to reunite.

We wish Everyone in the same boat to be reunited soon with our families!
