Hello Everyone,

I'm planning to apply for BOWP, since my work permit is expiring very soon and I have received AOR after PR application submission.

Now, when I use "Come to Canada" tool, to generate my checklist, I have to answer following two questions:

1. Have you been told by an Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada office that you are approved in principle for permanent residence in Canada?

2. Have you submitted a permanent resident application in Canada?

For 1st question, I'm not sure, should I be answering Yes or No?

For 2nd question, I said Yes, as I have submitted my application.

Please correct me, if I'm wrong. Also any BOWP holder, who are in a same situation?

Thanks,
Specterz

#1 should be NO unless you submitted a PR application in the past.
