How do we check status of BOWP application. Where in my CIC account do you check it. I tried to go in there and all I get is optiions to change my information
From what I know, you cannot see the status of BOWP application...You just have to wait for their approval email and paper visa, or if you applied manually, for the actual paper visa.

I just found out that when you are filing for your Bridging open wp and including to extend worker stay for your wife and visitors status for your son, you don't need their photo.

Am I correct?

Also do I need to fill in IMM5713 form as well?

Anyone knows if BOWP status is dependent on PR status? Say if you BOWP is still valid, but then your PR gets rejected, then are you still allowed to stay and work?

Hello everyone!!

Just a quick question. I received my approval mail for my BOWP on June 12, and now the month is about to be over. How long should I wait for the paper?.


Thanks

As far I know yes, your BOWP is one thing and your PR is another case.

Cheers.

You shouldn't have to provide any employment information. Did you choose "work permit with new employer"?
