Applied on April 31st, the employer insisted on representative, now the employer does not respond, the representative does not respond, I have no access to the application due to use of representative, call center refused even checking for any requests or status because the due date on CIC's web-site has not passed yet. However they've aready sent me request on my CEC PR application to provide evidences of intentions to leave Quebec in 30 days, not even 60 as they normally. So I have to resign, move somewhere very quickly, get some ties in the new province without any clear perspective even for 1 month ahead and with expired social insurance number on hands, nobody will even rent me a dwelling with my "status". And on top of this I will have no job until BOWP is approved provided that my employer hasn't changed his mind yet after waiting for me for more than 1 year first after rejected LMIA and then BOWP. Ah, forgot, my wife and 2 minor kids are absolutelly "impressed" by this situation.

I wish they were as quick in solving this kind of issues as they are when it comes to collecting taxes - this year only I paid 30+ grands, more than some people in Quebec earn in one year. And on top of this they've introduced $155 processing fee in addition to $100 of standard application fee for the BOWP application. I haven't noticed any improvements for that extra fee, have you?

It's all so frustrating, it's just not right to put people that are valueable for their economy in conditions like that. Sorry, I'm getting out of patience :'(.

You are almost there at 117 days as the mentioned as the processing time. Hopefully you get approval in a day or two. Really not sure whats happening. But they should not be crossing the 4 months in processing.

Not sure if it's a good or bad thing.

I applied on May 5th and today I got an email saying there is update on my BOWP application.

When I logged into my CIC, it says: This application has been approved.

I am a June applicant waiting for my CoPR. Getting my BOWP approved ahead of the timeline means I am going to wait longer for my CEC application? :eek:

Congratulations for the bowp approval. Well, bowp and CEC are being handled by different teams. Hope you will get your CoPR soon. But its time to celebrate for sure
