Only the principal applicant is eligible for a bridging open work permit. A spouse is eligible for a spousal open work permit.

What happens in case the current closed work permit is not expiring withing the 4 month time frame?

 

[honeysingh]

What happens in case the current closed work permit is not expiring withing the 4 month time frame?

Your application will be rejected as you don't meet the eligibility criteria for BOWP, but to add many people have tried the same to test their luck.
For Some of them the application got approved and form some rejected.

So it's up to you, how bad you need an open work permit. If you don't mind loosing $150.

You're not eligible and your application will most likely be refused.

How long did you have before your permit was about to expire?

This is a pretty old thread but you should only apply when you have at most 4 months left on your current work permit.

Oh dang. You should apply ASAP. Although BOWP processing is pretty fast. Mine got approved after a day. (Well technically after a day they received a document I forgot to attach).
