no, not email saying BOWP on hold, You need log into your cic account, check your applied status, but there would be an email tell you about updates to your account.

Hi All,

I applied for BOWP on 12th April, 2017 , no update yet. I read previous thread and came to know that ppl who applied in Macrh receiving update and that's a good news.

My question here is , my work permit is going to expire on 11th June, 2017 and its been 34 days already since I applied for BOWP. Is there any chance to get BOWP approved before my WP expires. I am going for business trip to USA, will they allow me to enter in USA with current WP..?

Thanks in advance
