Yes, I already got my PR and My BOWP got cancelled by CIC as I got PR approved before the processing of BOWP.

In your case, You can continue to work with expired SIN when you are in implied status. My SIN got expired on July 31st and I got New SIN on Aug 28th only during landing interview. So I worked around a month with expired SIN. There is no issue with that if you are in implied status.

I am not sure about driving license.

Thanks

What is the chance to get BOWP if my current work permit is a CLOSED one (not related to my EE submission, I qualify under CEC)?

Hi there,
Can someone please help me. Urgently need some advise:
Here is the situation: I applied for PR under CEC 4 days back and my open work permit expires August 20 days. That means I need to apply for BOWP before July 20 but I am not able to apply using cic online account. When I answer the questionnaire it only gives me TRV form in document checklist and not 5710, the form for BWOP.
I was reading other forums, it looks like I can not apply for BOWP online? Is that true? Seems unlikely but really confused. Is there anyone who has applied for BOWP online? PLEASE HELP ME. Thank you and blessings in advance :(

Guys,

Can someone please explain what is the idea behind getting bridging OPEN work permit under "the same employer"? What makes it OPEN if one gets a condition of employment restriction.

Thanks!

Hey everyone,

Thanks!

Guys, I have been reading lots of answers in this forum but could anyone help me. If I submit my PR application under CEC. How long it takes to receive the AOR? Is that automatically after submitting my PR application? I think I am quite confused. Thank you
