Bridging open work permit for permanent residence applicants

[Sabrinatman]

Hello, would you please help to clarify my question about the bridging open work permit? Thanks a lot!
1. If I only have received one-year of PGWP and have received the BCPNP nomination and already applied for the PR (not under EE), but I did not receive the AOR (acknowledgement of receipt letter) or Fin No. yet, could I apply for the bridging open work permit if my work permit expires soon? Since I know
2. Can the BCPNP work permit support letter replace the AOR?
3. If I can't apply for the BOWP, what could I do to stay in Canada?
Thanks very much!

you can’t apply BOWP without AOR . Attaching AOR is mandatory document. If your work permit expires soon, you only have option to apply closed work permit with help of your employer. Your employer have to submit job offer in employer portal and pay $230 compliance fees and give you job number starting with A123456789. You have to put that job offer number in your work permit application and attach copy of fees receipt and attach nomination letter as well as WPSL with your application.

Thanks very much. Regarding the closed work permit, is there any job type limited or any jobs are OK?

No

If I have applied for the closed work permit and once I receive the AOR, can I apply for the bridging open work permit anymore?

Thank you.

Closed work permit means you can only work one job with your employer. You can certainly try to convert BOWP after AOR .

Can I apply for BOWP along with my dependent in my application, or do they need to apply separately after I apply for my BOWP?
