Hi,

Experts please suggest which would be the best option..

I applied under CEC on 9th Oct 2014 and waiting for AOR to apply for BOWP. My current work permit is expiring on 7th feb 2015, on seeing the current timeline i may not receive AOR until end of Feb 2015. I have below queries to my situation:

1. Once my DD is charged can i apply BOWP online in mid of Jan itself as i see some ppl get BOWP approved before they get AOR(CC/DD already charged)?
2. or shall i wait till 5th Feb and apply paper application?
Hi,
number 2 is correct.

Hello Folks

I was just wondering if someone has any idea that how much time it will take to receive printed copy of WP after receiving online confirmation of BOWP approval ?

Thanks in advance!

How to find online if work permit is approved
If you applied online, log into the MyCIC account you used to apply and check the status. If you applied by mail, there is no way.

Not always status updated in online. I called CIC and came to know it has been approved on dec 31, but online status still shows Open. It's better to call CIC if the # of processing days passed.

Hi,

i have gone through the cic website but not very clear if we can continue to work when the current closed work permit is expired and BOWP is in progress.

I hear some people say we can work only if you apply BOWP via paper.
but as per my understanding even if we apply for BOWP online we can continue our current job.

Please give your views or understanding.
