Just want to share my happy news :)
Applied for BOWP on July 29th and I had some difficulties to upload my explenation letter - so I just sent my application without it.
And just got the confirmation e-mail from CIC that for both - me and my husband they have issued BOWP until 08/27/2014 :)
Cheers!
Congrats and thanks for sharing the information. So now it only takes 29 days to process. Hope this trend continues. :)

Hello all,
I am in the midst of filing for my BOWP online, but I don't seem to find the photo specifications anywhere (the one that needs to be sent to them electronically along with the online application)

Can anyone send me the specifications or the link to the specifications please.

Thanks you.

I would go for

since BOWP is a work permit and should therefore have the same specifications.

Guys Is there anybody who have applied in july for BOWP and still waiting. I submitted my application on July 20th and still no response. I called up CIC Call center but they also have no updates and said that the application is in process.

Guys I called the call center again and they said my application has gone for a 2nd level review as I didn't attach the AOR with my application but by the time my application was in process , I had received my AOR. Did anybody go through the same process and if yes how much time it takes to get a result. Thanks for your help

Hello folks,

I am running into a difficult situation, I have my current closed wp valid till 31st Oct and my employer is no more extending it as the work with client will not be extended beyond 31st Oct. I applied for CEC PR and it reached Sydney on August 23, I have to apply for BOWP as soon as I receive AOR, but by the time I receive AOR in October(based on the current timelines) I will not be left with much time to apply BOWP. I can apply BOWP but I will not receive it before 31st Oct. If that is the case, can I still continue to stay in Canada without any immigration issues. I do not really want to run into any such issues and jeopardize my CEC application. Is there any way to ask CIO Sydney to expedite the application verification and AOR. Please advise.

For anyone who has applied for BOWP have they completed medicals for CEC? If so, attached that form to the work permit application?

There is a question in the online questionnaire which says have you completed medicals in the last 12 months?
