Bridge Open Work Permit (BOWP) after getting & submitting EE invitation

[HDcanada]

Hi All,

I need a suggestion/advice on my concern regarding " can I apply for BOWP after getting an EE invitation and after submitting my EE documents ? (I'd asked a similar question earlier but this time it's more recent info n kind of separate concern)

Currently, I'm on a dependent open work permit based on my wife's student visa. We got the invitation to apply for a PR. We are planning to submit all our documents in next 1 month. I'm the primary applicant on our PR EE profile. I have heard that as soon as we submit the PR EE documents, gets an automated email from CIC in case some one want to apply for a bridge work permit.

My question is: Am I eligible to apply for BOWP after submitting our PR EE documents? ( One of lawyer I had met he said, not possible for me to apply for BOWP because I'm on my wife's dependent)

Any help would be great.

Thanks all !!

All i know is that you need an AOR to submit your BOWP.

As long as you are the principal applicant on the PR application (and meet the other requirements, like having a current work permit that is due to expire within the next 4 months), then you are eligible to apply for the BOWP.

you are only eligible to apply for BOWP only if you have got invitation for EE. My W/P is expiring next month. and I am planning to apply for BOWP by this week.
