Hey Everyone..!!
I've applied for PR adding my spouse to my file in AU 2014. The status of my file is still "In Process". I received my AOR in Jan 2015. And my file was started to be processed by CIC on Jan 28,2015.
My PGWP and my spouse's work permit expire in FEB 2015.
I waited untill this month and in next month OC 2015, I am planning to apply for BOWP.
I am on this link to apply for BOWP. I hope I am on the right track..!! Please confirm it for me..!! Thanks..!!

So now my que are;
1) Do me and my spouse both will have to apply for BOWP?? separate applications for both of us ???
2) In the document checklist for BOWP they ask for,
"Offer of Employment to a Foreign National Exempt for LMIA-IMM 5802"
What is this?? Why would they ask this for?? How can I get it?
Is there any way that I can skip this? by any possible way?? (because in one of the threads I read that the person gave an explanation of why he cant provide this. and he got his BOWP. So what probable explanation can anyone give if he/she wants to skip this IMM 5802-Offer of Employment???
"Copy of LMIA"
what is this?? it says 'if applicable'. so should I provide this or not..!!!
"Copy of your job offer letter"
Can I submit the one which I got in 2014?? or do I have to get the new one?? what it should include any idea??
also I might change my current job very soon. So do I have to provide the offer letter from both of the employers??
"Photocopy of valid return ticket"
Why this??? should I have to provide this too..!!!!!
2) I was thinking if ,God for bit, we dont get our new work permits (looking at the process speed..! right now these snails are processing BOWP files of month MAY-JUNE !!!) even by the end of FEB 2015(current wp expires) then can I move temporarily to US for some time and then come back when we get our applied BOWP approved..??? The problem here is mine and my souse's TRVs are also getting expired in FEB 2015. So will we be able to enter Canada from US???
Also I wanted to ask one more thing. My spouse has applied for renewal of his passport. How should I inform CIC about it after he receives his new passport??
I know too many questions..!!
I am sorry for that..!! :-[
Thanks much for all the answers..!!
