Hi all,

Its been almost 5 month for me after I submitted my application on July 15 under Express entry and there is no 2nd AOR yet.

My current work permit (which is closed and with LMIA) expires in December and am going to submit for BOWP.
If so, I need to apply for an Open Work permit for me and spouse by using Form IMM5710E? However my question is which Form I should use for my child?

In my case (Principal applicant) submit the BOWP with Form IMM5710?
Which Form my spouse should use? Is it the same Form IMM5710?
Also my child is now 3 year old and she is correctly with a temporary resident visa (its not a study permit) so for her which form i should use?

Also can i submit all the applications online? so that i can get the proof of submission.

Please help me.

Hi @ngelsa ,
I want to apply for BOWP, I need your help because I'm confused how to apply online for BOWP, I found links to application but it's regular extension for my current work permit and not specific for BOWP, it would be great and very useful if you guide me how to apply, is it just from this link "http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/extend-worker.asp" ? or from inside my account?
Thank you

Hello All,

I submitted my PR application last night.
So guys, I got the AOR after I submitted the application.

I am CEC inland with 480.
Application submitted on 14th December!

Now my work permit is till May 12th 2016. Till when do I wait to apply for Bridging Work Permit? Please someone let me know if they are aware of this process. I am assuming I should get a positive go on my application? Correct?


Thanks!

Wait till march to apply for BOWP. The CEC category is processed faster than any other. I think you will get PPR till that time.

Great! Thanks. I was thinking as much. But March seems like too last minute to apply. But I have to wait for my PPR anyway.

Thank you!

You can apply anytime once you have 4 months left on work permit. You can work on implied status after BOWP submission.

And I should have a PPR as well. So 4 months left and a PPR? Why would they want to extend my work permit otherwise right.
