Bridging open work permit (BOWP) got refused, can I appeal?

[buki]

Hello everyone,

I need some directions/advices.

I submitted the Bridging open work permit (BOWP) on Sep. 27, 2018 online after submitted Permanent Resident (PR) on Sep. 22, 2018. I have attached Acknowledgment of Receipt letter and Provincial Nominee Program nomination letter under additional document section.

However, on Dec. 5, the status said my BOWP application is refused and the reason is “you have not provided a copy of the nomination letter issued by the nominating province or territory along with your application”.

I have contacted the general inquiry for direction but they said they don’t have phone service for BOWP application, instead, they sent me a link which directs me to the help center…

Could anyone provide me some directions if I want to appeal? Who should I contact?

Thank you in advance!

What was your previous work permit? Things like PGWP do not qualify for any form of extension.

yes..previous was PGWP. So if my current PGWP is going to expired on Jan 11, 2019. How can I extend my stay?

FYI. My status for PR application is under background check. I have passed the medical exam.

Thanks.

You can't extend. You will have to change to visitor status before your PGWP expires and stop working unless you have received PR and landed by then.

Thanks for providing the link.

The work permit that I applied is Bridging open work permit (BOWP). According to the website, it says, "This type of work permit lets you keep working while you wait for the results of your permanent residence application." So technically, I didn't extend PGWP. No?

Should add that that there is also the possibility for your employer to get an LMIA and you can apply for a closed work permit. That will take months though.

Can't be applied with things like PGWP or IEC.

Yes, it can. I suggest removing/editing your previous posts.

If you are certain that you included the PNP docs, send an urgent Webform explaining the situation.

You bring me hope.
Thanks! I've just submitted. Will see what they come back.

Seems like CIC made a mistake. I'm afraid there is no appeal process. Try seeking your MP's help with this.
