Bridging Open Work Permit (BOWP) under express entry - connect here

Looking to clear up my situation.
IEC working holiday visa ended on 2nd November 2017, however I applied for an extension and went on to implied status before the end date of my visa.
Submitted my final PR Express Entry application while on implied status, and used my AOR to apply for BOWP before my implied status ended. My extension got denied, and hence my temporary resident status declined on Feb 16th 2018.
As stated though, I submitted my PR and my BOWP applications before Feb 16th, while my status was still valid. With my BOWP application submitted while I wait for a PR decision, do I go on to implied status again? Can I continue working? Any help much appreciated.

Received a letter in my CIC account which says additional $100.00 for open work permit is required.
I originally paid the $155 application fee, but it seems that I need to pay $100 more which I didn't realise originally. Does anyone know how I pay this? From the letter I received, it seems I just need to add the receipt to my application but I can't figure out where I pay the money.
I'm currently on IEC visa if that matters.

For you guys' information, I got my BOWP recently. I haven't submit my FBI PCC as it hasn't arrive yet. So, it is possible to get BOWP even if PCCs are not complete. But our medical examination were passed long ago.
Hello everyone,
My wife's work permit extension / BOWP approved as on 06-02-2018 and her old VISA and post graduation work permit was expired as on 30-03-2018.
She is planning to apply for her new VISA in this week or next week, she is waiting to get employment letter from her employer.
Is there any problem now as per immigration law and rules like she is staying there after visa expired. Her BOWP work permit is valid up to 05-02-2019.
Waiting for your kind reply

Hi all. Long time reader, first time poster. I figure it's best to post my question in this thread rather than starting a new one.
I recently submitted by PR application and received the AOR. Now I need to apply for the BOWP. I'm doing this through my online account and have managed to start an application for an Open Work Permit. I just wanted to confirm that this is correct. There is no option that I can find specifically to apply for a BOWP.
From what I understand, I just have to apply for an Open Work Permit, but attach the AOR with the application so that the officer processing it knows that the work permit is for bridging purposes. Is this accurate?
Thanks!

yes, you need to choose Open Work Permit and rest is same as PGWP, just fill in your information pay your fee and that is it.
Thanks for your reply! I have a follow up - one of the optional forms is the IMM5257 - Schedule 1 - Application for a Temporary Resident Visa Made Outside Canada.
Because this form is optional and because I am applying from within Canada, my assumption is that I don't need to submit this form for the BOWP. Is this correct? Or should I submit the form anyway?
Thanks for your reply.
I have submitted by BOWP application. Hopefully I got everything right. Now the nervous wait begins.
