Yes. I applied online. It's really weird that I got it before other ppl who applied online as well. Could it be because they r probably accessing my CEC file that I filed on sept 9 2014?

Applicants may now submit their bridging open work permit (BOWP) at the same time as their application for permanent residence. Once the completeness check has been performed, the application for a BOWP will be processed. BOWP applications received before the completeness checks have been performed will be held until they are ready to be processed.

You will be in Implied statut until they start processing it. Your application won't be rejected if your positive eligibility decision hasn't been made.

It's possible that some officer are starting to follow this.

This is ridiculous. I applied long before this change, not to forget that this is my second BOWP I am waiting for. :(

I'm hoping this means that my CEC application has passed the eligibility phase and has been marked positive that's why they issued my BOWP. Hope everyone gets their BOWP soon

So in this case, am I assuming right that this was your 1st BOWP ?

As I said earlier, this BOWP is not for Economic Class Applicants. In the bottom it says that it updated for BOWP of PNP and other applications. I wouldn't be worried about it.

Update to the instructions on the bridging open work permit

Summary

Currently, work permits are being processed within shorter timelines as a result of the waiving of the requirement to send an official acknowledgement of receipt letter to applicants.

Applicants may now submit their bridging open work permit (BOWP) at the same time as their application for permanent residence. Once the completeness check has been performed, the application for a BOWP will be processed. BOWP applications received before the completeness checks have been performed will be held until they are ready to be processed.

No, I'm not from Visa exempt country. But I do have Ontario PNP application that I submitted in July 2015 but I didn't attached AOR from PNP. I attached CEC AOR.

I don't understand why my online BOWP from August 22 is still waiting while Sept BOWP applications are getting approved.
I am also a August 28 2014 CEC applicant. Did not receive MR yet.
