Hi guys, just noticed when I sign in to My CIC on my list of applications my online application for BOWP just updated and says Approved

However when I click the application it still says Final Decision Not Started, is this simply a case of it not being updated yet and I can safely assume I got my BOWP?

Please advise, thank you, this will be a huge weight off my chest as my PGWP expires next week and I was worried I would have to leave the country, I have been in Canada for around 8 years and its my home at this point 8)

It says that there is a new message in there for you as well. Did you read the message? It should say that your application was approved and the WP will be sent to you in the next few days.

Got my email in myCIC confirming my BOWP approval today, applied June 8th approved June 30th

Dear experts,

I had got a province nomination certificate from Saskatchewan’s SINP-EE. When I applied to extend my nomination certificate, I got a “SINP work permit support letter” in addition to the extended nomination certificate.

When I got the original nomination letter for the first time, Saskatchewan immigration office did not give me a work permit support letter.

In the work permit support letter, they write: “The SINP has determined that you are urgently required to begin your employment with of, Saskatchewan prior to receiving your permanent resident status. In order to obtain an extension to your Temporary Work Permit you must apply to Citizenship and Immigration Canada(CIC) prior to your work permit expiring. As per the immigrant refugee Protection Regulation 204.c, please include a copy of this letter with your application. “

My questions:
1) as above, the work permit support letter says that it is used to” obtain an extension to your Temporary Work Permit”. I didn’t receive such a letter when I got the nomination for the first time. Could I use it to apply to a NEW temporary work visa?
2) If I can use it. Could I apply for a temporary work visa online rather than on paper? (I had tried to apply for online but cannot pass “Determine your eligibility” web page.)

Thank you so much.

Hi,

Could someone please advise for following ?
If a person is currently on a BOWP and assuming the application for Permanent residence is rejected.
Can that person be allowed to stay and work until the end date of BOWP or does he need to leave the country once the decision on the permanent residence application is made ?

Hoping for the best on the PR application to progress smoothly. But still, I would like to know about the worst case scenario when staying in Canada on a BOWP.
