As of Oct 16 , they are working on June 5th applications.

I submitted online on June 1 , called call centre and got reply that its very unusual as why they did process the application and the agent is going to send a note to processing centre and I should hear back in a day or two.
 
Hi all. I applied June 14th for BOWP and SOWP online. I got a ghost email at the end of Sept then another email on Tuesday Oct 20th which was an update to confirm our applications have been approved. Yesterday I got another which contained the official letter with an original in the post apparently.
Hope this gives people a bit of hope they will get theirs soon
 
Is here anyone who was on LMO work permit & got BOWP ?
My work permit is getting expired on 26th Oct & I applied for bowp on 18th Sep & people are scaring me that LMO work permit holders don't get bowp, only open work permit holders are eligible for bowp.

Please advise on this !!
 
I just reached an agent to inquire latest updates on my CEC june application, as well as my BOWP application g paper application, received on june 15 2015).

She told me that my BOWP application was transfered to special unit processing center (!!!) on september 29 and i should not contact call center again if by first week of March (!!!) i dont hear anything. She said she cant tell anything about the reasons of why it was transfered to this special unit or any other information. She just pointed out that as soon as this happens, it gives CIC additional 22 weeks to process it.

I am devastated..... I was hoping it will pop up sooner than PR.
 
I got this email

I applied online on June 26th and my online status was updated to approved today. I expect the official letter will come in the next day or so.
 
Hi

I have applied BOWP for me, my spouse and kid.

Mine and my spouse's BOWP has been approved but i did not get any updates on my kids application.

Should i contact CIC or my WP extension will suffice my kids application as well?

Only the status is APPROVED in CIC. I have not recd the BOWP yet.

What about KIDS extension? Any idea on that...!
 
I would suggest you to call cic asap and ask for it. I don't know anybody that applied for kid. Btw, work permit for kid? BOWP stands for Bridging OPEN WORK PERMIT? I believe your kid needs another status in Canada, not work status?

It seems WP moves faster than before!
