Applied last Dec 2016 and still haven't received mine yet. It was paper-based.

My friend applied BOWP on Feb 10, still nothing. Processing time said 36 days, but it says they are working on Feb 1 application. So, maybe this week or next week hopefully.

I have question here! If we apply for close work permit with letter of support from AINP by paper application and then meanwhile we get our express entry ITA, and our closed work permit application is still waiting to be processed, so can we just cancel that close work permit application and apply open work permit with our Express Entry ITA? I am talking about applying closed work permit by paper application as l heard it takes 3 months to process and until then you will be on implied status with your open work permit. Thanks

Applied on March 11. But I am travelling out of Canada at the end of April, I am very worried if I do not receive the visa before I leave.
