Hi guys. Which do you think would be better to apply without 2nd aor. Online has a longer processing time now, but would they check online applications for completeness before paper applications?

Given current processing times, you may very well receive your PR before your BOWP. It currently 110 - 132 days for a work permit, and getting worse every week.

You need to consider if it is worth the time and money of applying for BOWP given that.

Need advice from anyone done with BOWP (Bridging open work permit),
I called the CIC call centre but they told me weird thing, they told me that BOWP can only sent using mail, not online.
And they said that "you must send an Application to Change Conditions or Extend Your Stay as a Worker to the Case Processing Centre in Vegreville, Alberta."

my question is , are there anyone done the Bowp online before??? please advise.
