Hi guys,
I re-posted this from another place because nobody could give me any answer.
My application was received ~3 months ago (if according to CIC processing time is 13 months, I still have ~8-10 months to wait). My current work permit expire September 30th 2014, I can apply for BOWP already in June, but I would like to wait a bit, maybe till August, to get a BOWP for a longer time, until August 2015. But then I am thinking, it will be ~8 months when my application will be sent or in process. And I've heard that around 6-8 months people start receiving some feedback from CIC on their applications. Of course I hope for the best, but what if I get rejected before even applying for BOWP? When is the earliest I can expect any communication from CIC? After 6 months? 8 months? I know it is different for everyone, but there must be some kind of trend. What would you suggest? Apply for BOWP as soon as I will become eligible (~June), or wait a bit more? I am scared to lose the opportunity to get BOWP just because I waited too long..

I would suggest apply for BOWP as soon as you become eligible. You can always go for a second BOWP if your PR gets delayed. There are no set deadlines with CIC if you read the other threads in the forum.

Pichon,
Best thing is to wait until August and apply for your bowp then. Ensure to see the processing time for a bowp before u apply so u can time ur application accordingly. Currently its 20 days and I applied for mine on March 5th 2014 and received it on march 25th, although my permit was expiring in May I didnt wanna take a chance cos im 12 months already on my PR and i havent heard anything from CIC.
But for your PR u still have time so take it easy and apply by august end

Thanks Toronto2013 and Winterfox for 2 different opinions I guess every case is different... Still do not know what I will do, I guess I still have time to think about it.

True story - I applied for BOWP once I became eligible (4 months before old wp expire). I got my BOWP in 25 days and 3 weeks later my application was rejected.
