BOWP how to apply

Hello everyone.

Today, my PR application under the federal skilled worker program is processing (AOR end of december, medical passed early February, no news since). I also currently hold a job with a working holiday permit which is expiring in a little less than 4 months.

According to what I could read online (including from the CIC official website), I am eligible to apply for a BOWP. I would like to do so in order not to lose my current job, and a decent chunk of money over some administrative delays, even though I would also actually enjoy a little vacation trip back home.

My problem is that when I try to apply (in my CIC profile), I get directed to the eligibility questionnaire. And when I am done answering it tells me I am not eligible, but nowhere it asked me when my status expires, or if I applied under the FSW program. Did anyone manage to apply online for the BOWP recently, and if so, how ? I find the directions on CIC to be quite confusing.

Thanks a lot for your help.
Cheers.
