I am applying for BOWP in this week. I have all the document and I am applying online. I have read the background section on the new updates..... please refer this link http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/temp/work/prov/bridging.asp

Do I need to apply for an LMO for bridge open work permit under the new rule... Please read the background section and reply me please.... I really appreciate your help... I am just bit confused...

on the requirement section, the eligibility criteria still the same. So I am just hoping I dont need an LMO to apply for BOWP.

I have my file number which I got the email from CIC.

Hi,

no, you do not need a LMO for the BOWP.

Thanks Vancouver71 for the update.

I have applied on July 08, 2014 (Around 9 pm).


I am eagerly waiting for my BOWP approval.

Vancouver71,

Can you please let me know, at what time did you apply on Jul 05. Did you get any alerts from CIC before BOWP is approved.

Thanks,
Venky

Applying for BOWP without AOR (acknowledgement) number is quite risk. I have read in this forum that few lucky ones got it. You can just give a try as its a matter of $155.

You cannot apply for your family as the rule says the applicant should be in Canada. Hope this info helps.

Wish you good luck....

Thanks alot Wonderclicks ,ofcourse $155 is not a problem but in case if I will be refused than will it effect anything if I apply in future .In future when I get AOR and apply for bridge permit than there will be any problem ?
Regards

Is the copy of receipt of the application of BOWP enough to show to the employer? do they keep a copy? or I must give them the whole application?
