Folks, my wife's SOWP was approved few days after mine was approved. It has passed two and half weeks and we still didn't receive it in mail. We live in Edmonton, AB.
What should we do?

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!
Yes within 4 months. I apply April 9th PGWP expires July 31st as well. Hoping to get approval the end of this month!!! :-X

Hello Everyone

I got an email saying that your application has been updated but nothing changed in MYCIC account. Does any one know how long does it take to get updates in MYCIC account after that email?

So my current permit expires July 2nd as I haven't heard a thing. I'm just worried in the unlucky case I made a mistake on my application by the time i find out I wont be able to even apply for another BOWP :( Is there any point in me emailing anyone or just wait and hope for the best.

I suppose you have to wait and see.
