If your job has changed since you applied for PR - which job should you state on the employment letter going to apply for BOWP?

Thank you!

You don't require employement letter to apply for BOWP. Don't mention the employers name while filling the form. Just say applying for BOWP.

I am currently working in Canada under Inter Company Transfer - closed work permit.
My wife came on Visitor visa and received her dependent open work permit (under my work permit).
She has applied FSW PR visa and received Application Number.
Now my visa expires in 4 months and planning to apply Bridge open work permit for both (under PR - Application Number).

my wife - visitor --> Open work permit --> Bridge Open work permit
Mine - Closed work permit --> Bridge open work permit

Can you advise chances of success? Also duration of BOWP.

Thanks in advance!

Did you all went for Medical exam when applying for BOWP? I didn’t have one in last 12 months and system is asking me to do so. I was thinking to send the application with the letter of the explanation instead. Any suggestion, please?

Hey guys - to apply for BOWP, in the eligibility tool, should i indicate i am intending to stay permanently or something else? I keep changing my answers but I don't know if I am getting to the final application page that is correct for BOWP. Please help someone.

Thanks for the replies :D :D :D

Another question, for online application, where did you upload your AOR? I don't see a section for that in my online application summary of required documents. Am I doing something wrong here?

I have the same problem. So i made a booking and was sent an itinerary. However, that is just a tentative booking so I did not pay for the flight yet.

So you made a booking from which country if you are within canada ?

You are a single member who is applying or else your wife is also applying?
