BOWP - How many of you have applied and received it successfully?

[Arwy]

You're over thinking and making things seem far more complicated than they are.

All the AOR is, is a confirmation from the CIC to indicate that they have received a completed application from you, and that you appear to be eligible for PR.

It took longer to get the AOR under the old system because it was paper based and the applications were manually checked in Sydney, before being sent on to Ottawa.

Under EE, you already pass the 'appear to be eligible' stage when you receive your ITA. Therefore it makes perfect sense that you get the AOR very shortly after submitting your completed application.

The eligibility requirements have not changed. If you want confirmation of that, you can simply refer to the CIC website:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/temp/work/prov/bridging.asp

This information was updated in December 2014, shortly in advance of the launch of Express Entry.

Thank you so much for such a clear explanation. I really appreciate it. You've brought me so much peace of mind! Thank you!

Hi Guys,

I submitted BOWP and OWP for my spouse application yesterday. In terms of spouse's application, in the explanation letter, should I attach my AOR and WP as well? I didn't because I thought they will be processed together. My explanation letter included AOR and WP. For my wife's explanation letter, I only attached a cover letter, bank statements from both of us, letter of employment and photos proving our relationship.

Are these sufficient and will it be a problem since I didnt include my AOR and WP in my wife's letter of explanation?

Thanks,
Ray

Make sure there are no misktakes in your schedule a form as that might prevent it from uploading. Also try saving the document in supported formats suggested by Cic

Hi,
you are not allowed to change employers while working on implied status. You can do so if you get the BOWP.

 

[omph]

does anybody know any other way to contact CIC other than their call center and email. its very impossible to get through to their call center hotline and neither receiving any reply from email.

my SOWP online application was submitted Jan 29, together with my husband BOWP and obviously past their processing time and the date they are currently working on as published on the website. my husband already received his BOWP though last April 8

thank you all
