Hi
I have a question, is it required to submit any additional application form (along with CEC application form list) for bridge open work permit?
I came across below conditions on CIC site..
"Bridging Open WP – Eligibility Parameters
To be eligible for a bridging open WP, the following parameters must be met:
The foreign national is currently in Canada;
They have valid status on a WP that is due to expire within 4 months;
They have received a positive eligibility decision on their PR application under one of the Economic Class programs above; and
They have made application for an open WP." This last condition is confusing, I am wondering if I need to specify about BOWP requirement along with my PR application..
Thanks in advance.
Dont need to provide any additional application form. There is no such additional application form for bowp. I only uploaded a copy of aor, my current work permit and explanation letter for what I actually apply and why I am eligible as additional documents, not applications. When it comes to applications, you only need to upload family info form and IMM5710E which is mandatory
And the last condition means that when you fill up the application form IMM5710, you need to choose open work permit in the section of "
What types of work permit are you applying for". You will see what I mean when you start filling up your application form. Made application doesn't mean you have applied it before, it means just an application for open work permit has to be used.
However, the most important thing you need to submit is AOR, you can't apply BOWP along with CEC applications as they are processed at totally different offices. If you haven't applied CEC, do it first and wait for the AOR to apply BOWP. There are few people who got their BOWP before AOR so, you should search the post and try what other people did. BUT FIRST, you need to apply CEC before you do something.
