Hello everyone, Need some help.
I applied for PR under CEC category, received file# in June 2014.
My "post grad OWP" expires on Nov 7th 2015. I'm currently working.
Wanted to know when will be the right time to apply BOWP and what is the processing time for BOWP ?
Thank you.
Please see below link:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?q=676&t=29

Once you have applied for PR and waiting for their review, you can apply for BOWP four months before PGWP expires. For processing time, please see below:

Did any April or May 2015 applicant received BOWP?
Thanks please reply.......
Applied on April 13th, approved on July 22nd. The application wait time is very long. However, if you provide sufficient information, the application should be a success. Be patience on the processing time, good luck to all!

My work permit expires on October 19th. What do you mean by "didn't hear from cic about BOWP"?
I haven't even applied for BOWP yet. The details i mentioned are for PR application, now waiting for AOR that says i can use it for BOWP. How can i apply for implied status?

Hi Sheen

Just apply for the BOWP online without the 2nd AOR. That's what I did. I haven't seen a single person on these forums that has actually received a 2nd AOR so I don't think they actually exist.

Currently the processing time for a BOWP if you are inland and apply online is 130 days. That gives you 130 days of implied status but you must apply for your BOWP BEFORE your current visa expires!

If they reject your BOWP application because you dont have the 2nd AOR it will have given you an extra 130 days of working eligibility, and hopefully your PR comes through before then.

Hope this helps

I meant your wp expires and your BOWP application is still in process and no decision has been made.. you will be on implied status until a decision is made
