How did you prepare your scanned copy of pictures? Did you go to professional Studio or did it own? Is the specification same as the specification required for Normal WP?

Hope the following clarifies

BOWP Needs no photos
BOWP applicants can automatically include their depedants for their extension as applicable to their status
BOWP is processed as case specific - so time consuming
BOWP error can be corrected by calling cic and filling out a correctin form - $30

Are you talking about online applications??

Photo is not needed if offline else digital photo is needed.
I don't think BOWP is time consuming, whoever applied I seen on forum got with in 30 to 40 days. You may be talking about offline application.
As long as we have AOR, I think it should be fine.
