Hey all,

As anyone submitted BOWP and it's taking over 33 days with no response yet?
mate post your query here, it will be helpful for you.

I think the processing time for a BOWP is 84 days now.

Update from me: called Cic today, the lady said my work permit has been approved and has been mailed to me on Oct 2nd (like 10 days ago). Should be arriving sometime next week (unless it's lost in the mail or delivered to wrong address!)

Once again, I applied by paper on June 7.

Congrats Irada! Did you have a PGWP before you applied for the BOWP?

hi Irada_G,

congratulations ,
did you receive any email from CIC for bowp?
Nope nothing, I had to call them to find out. It's been approved on Oct 2, Im still waiting for it to show up in the mail.

I also raised a Case specific enquiry few days ago, before I called them, and I never got any response.

Could someone help me out please? I raised CSE regarding my work permit and got this response:

We verified the information you provided; however, it differs from the one we have on file.

In order to better assist you, we invite you to resubmit your request by filling out the IRCC Web form and include the following information:
  • Surname and complete given name - exactly as they appear on the passport or identity document,
  • Date of birth (YYYY-MM-DD),
  • Client ID Number, UCI or Application Number,
  • Country of birth,
  • Type of application,
  • Date on which the application was submitted to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada,
  • Mailing method (courier, Canada Post (registered or regular mail), etc.),
    • company used,
    • confirmation no.,
  • Office where the application was submitted (city, country),
  • Receipt number,
  • Current address,
  • Telephone number(s),

  • All documents submitted with your previous request.
I want to resubmit my request.
My question is, what is "Receipt number"? Where do I find it?

It has been two weeks since they sent my work permit to me, but I haven't got it in the mail yet. :(
