hi everyone,

I was wondering if I could get information from those who applied for the BOWP by paper and recently got their permits approved, especially those who sent their application to the 'new employer' office rather then the 'existing employer' office. If you recently got your BOWP approved, can you tell me when CIC recieved your application and when you received your BOWP? I'm asking because recently the processing times were updated, and the 'new emplyer' office reduced their processing times to 53 days (from 63). I'm still awaiting my aor so the reduction in processing time is actually a little bit worrying in terms of getting my BOWP approved!

thanks much for any info you have!

Thanks

Hie Guys,
I would like to inform you all that i applied for a BOWP without AOR as a paper application on 7th of October, and it got approved on 4th of December.
I would like to thank you all for the guidance.
In my case my Open Work permit expired on 8th of October and since then i was on implied status. The new open work permit issued is for One Year. :D :D
hi Maxwell 12345,

All you can do is wait. Someone on here that applied on 7 November got theirs approved online last week, that's the latest I have seen.

With Christmas next week I wouldn't expect much to happen until January.

The processing time on the CIC website has gone up to 40 days for online applicants too.

Hi,

Please advice anyone. While applying for extension of WP, do I have to specify about my current employer and also that I have job in hand.

I did not mention my current employer in the application... in the explanation letter I mentioned that I dont have employer details since I am applying for BOWP...
