Hey, how did you apply online for your BOWP? I click 'apply online' on the page below and it just takes me to the 'come to Canada' questionnaire.

cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/extend-worker.asp

Any help greatly appreciated

Sign in in cic account and fill out questionnaire and select extend work permit, make sure you pay both fees, for open work permit and work permit fee

[HELLO, WHAT DOCUMENTS DID YOU SUBMIT FOR BOWP? DID YOU DO ONLINE OR PAPER BASED?
MY SITUATION IS FOLLOWING:

I applied for PR on August 2016 and got my file number on December 2016. My PGWP is expiring on 25 June, 2017. I am a Provincial nominee from Alberta. In the PNP letter it says there is NO RESTRICTIONS ON EMPLOYMENT.

Am I eligible to apply for BOWP?
If so, What documents do I need to apply for BOWP?
When I try to do it online it ask me for the following documents:
-Letter of Support from Province or Territory
-Proof that you Meet the Requirements of the Job Being Offered
-Employer Questionnaire and Declaration
Do I need all these documents?
YOUR RESPONSE WILL BE HIGHLY APPRICIATED]

You can apply for BOWP with AOR, but then application goes on hold till the time pr application pass some stage, but you can keep working under implied status

OR you can call AINP, they will issue you letter of support, which will say that you Meet the Requirements of the Job Being Offered.
Employer Questionnaire and Declaration is not needed as you are on PGWP open work permit, this Employer Questionnaire and Declaration is just for closed WP.

Just make sure you pay both fees, work permit extension fee and open work permit fee.

Thanks for reply. I have few more questions, hope you don't mind.
1) how long did it take for you to get your work permit?
2) When I do it online, It asks me for letter of support and questionnaire, how do I bypass that?
I would rather wait 15 days than ask for a letter of support from province which is gonna take more than 15 days to get anyway.
please reply
Thanks

Took like 1 month 20 days
I was on same boat as you, was waiting for AOR and but I asked provide to send me letter of support
But the day I got letter of support, I also got my aor

To bypass it, just attach a blank document
And explain it in explanation letter.
