Bridging Open Work Permit "On Hold Status"

[vivek3372]

Hello Guyz,

I would really appreciate if some one could assist me with analyzing the "On-Hold" status for BOWP application. As i submitted my application on March 18, 2017 and today was just checking my cic account and got to see that application is on-hold.

P.S. submitted my E-APR on March 17, 2017.

Thanks in advance!

BOWP case officer and CIO officer are different. When they put it on hold - it means they are waiting for R10 check to complete before they can approve your application. It doesn't necessarily mean you are getting PR soon (though I hope you do)

Express Entry: determining if an e-APR has passed the completeness check

If a foreign national submits an APR using Express Entry, they may apply for a BOWP if they meet the eligibility requirements. However, a decision on the application will not be made until the Centralized Intake Office (CIO) has assessed the e‑APR for completeness. A BOWP can be issued only if the e‑APR has passed the R10 completeness check.

Before issuing a BOWP, officers must check the Global Case Management System (GCMS) to ensure that the CIO has reviewed the application and determined that it meets the requirements of a complete application as described in sections R10 and R12.01. If the e‑APR is incomplete, the application for a BOWP must be refused. The open work permit holder fee can be refunded, but the processing fees cannot.

Complete application: The CIO will enter the following note in GCMS: “R10 OK.”

Incomplete application: The CIO will cancel the e‑APR and enter the following note in GCMS: “E‑APR rejected as incomplete. Client not eligible for BOWP.”

Once R10 OK
you will get work permit

That makes sense...... So all we can do is wait with patience....... Thank you for that info ... Much appreciated.
