a. Did you meet all the criteria of BOWP?

CIC has not even started processing applications in April yet. The current processing time for online applications is about two weeks. Unless the processing time changes, they probably will start working on your application next week or the one after and take another two weeks to provide you with result. One more week at least to get it in the mail.

The processing times posted on the CIC website reflect the average processing time. Some applications
can take longer to process, some will be processed quicker than the posted times. Not counting the day of submission,
today is day 14 after submitting your application. Please be patient.

Hi Toby and thisisauser,
I submitted my application on 9th april and actually today is the 15th day.I called the call centre and the agent told me the same thing not only to check the processing time but also the date they are working on submitted application which says March 28, 2014 but one of the forum member applied on march 30th and got approved on april 12th, that's why i asked whether anyone who applied on april 1st week and got approved.
Thanks for your reply.

As I already said, it's an average processing time and all you can do on your side is wait.

That's why i am so worried,I came here on cwp with my family and as my wp is expiring in another 10 days the company has arranged all the return formalities and booked the tickets also,only if i get the BOWP before i travel i can come back within 3-4 months by appling TRV from my country.

Lets hope for the best.

Once the BOWP issued, you can print the online PDF which has the WP file/issue number and validity date and provide that to your employer if that helps.
