Hi everyone!
I'm an AINP nominee under employer driven steam, applied for BOWP in Nov, got a refusal on Jan 13, same date I contacted AINP office and they asked me to fax the docs to their office.
Today an AINP agent called me and faxed me a new version of my AINP certificate, where it states that there is no restriction on employment. Then I called CIC and the agent told me that I can apply for BOWP with that new certificate, just have to explain all the situation in the letter and they should refund the first fee payment. But I still have to wait a regular processing time again.
If you received your nomination in September and later you shouldn't have any problem, because it states that there is no restriction on the employment. It is in ALBERTA, other provinces have to check with their offices.
Hi Martinfromprague:
What # did you call to talk to an AINP officer? Could i have that # please.
I have to apply for BOWP and i want to get a latest version of my AINP nomination letter so that CIC will not refuse my BOWP application. I can have the BOWP in one short!
Good luck!
