[elena2]

I hope that next week CIC will start approving BOWP for April applicants (A March 30 applicant got the BOWP today). Let's join on this thread all April applicants and share our time-line. I am an April 24 applicant and hope to hear from them in mid July.

Hi All,

Need help in below scenarios.

I have applied for BOWP on 23 March 2015, there were two application one is for me and for my wife. while applying online online system took my "Open Work permit holder fees" but not prompted for my wife's "Open Work Permit Holder Fees". Now i have received "request letter" to pay fees and upload document. I did pay fees but I am not able to upload the document as there is no upload button on the page mentioned in request letter.

If someone has come across similar situation please guide me how to notify CIC that i have paid the requested fees.

Thanks in advance.

Hello! Please help to lessen my worries. My work permit will be expiring on July 31st. I applied BOWP on April 13. Isn't I applied within 4 months before my work permits expiry date? i just need your help guys, to assure myself that I applied within the required time bracket.

I know I sound crazy with this query. But, i am becoming more stressed everyday because of the waiting time. And I'm scared I might have done wrong with my application which will in effect might add to my waiting time. Better to catch it early, just incase there are some errors. Thanks!
