Hi Can anyone please advise,

My passport is expiring in Jan 2016. And I will apply for BOWP in march so what should I do ? (Your Suggestion Please).

Should I renew my passport first then apply for BOWP (Because then I will got for only 9 or 10 Months). ?

And another question I think when we got new passport so we have to let CIC know as well for new information about passport is it right ???

Please Advise all.

Response appreciated.

Hi, i need some help!

I am filling out the application for BOWP. I am on open work permit and employed full time right now.

What should i do in the section for "DETAILS OF INTENDED WORK IN CANADA"? They are asking in that section labour market opinion number, what my duties will be, until when i am intending to work there. All that sounds complicated for my situation.

What should i do???

Hello Forum members,
I am a Sept CEC applicant. My current Work Permit expires in 24Th Jan 2015. I haven't recieved my AOR yet, but i am expecting anytime next week. I have applied for BOWP paper application without AOR (explaining in cover letter). My question is, if I receive my AOR next week, can I submit another BOWP application online. If so, what will happen to my paper application which i submitted earlier.

Thanks.

hi all,

does anyone know whether you get an approval email from the cic for paper applications for the BOWP? Or do you have to wait for snail mail to know whether you got it?

thanks!

No communication email.. i initially applied paper based for my BOWP as i did not have AOR.. luckily i was approved.. after 3 months.. there was absolutely no communication and the only thing i received was my BOWP in the mail..

so if u dont receive anything then dont panic its very usual..
