Hello,

I have applied for PR through EE - CEC Stream - estimated decision Mid August. My current IEC expires June 21, so we applied about 2 months ago for BOWP - we have not yet had any progress on this BOWP application.

My question is what is we do not get a decision/approval on the BOWP before our IEC expires?

Thank you
 
you should be on implied status then...

there is not much progress on BOWP applications you can see online...now it takes almost 100 days for the application to get processed...once the decision is made you will see your profile updated (ghost update) and the next day-application approved message....usually like that...

This is where I get a little fuzzy.. if we are still waiting for the BOWP approval, but our IEC expires do we automatically go onto implied status or do we have to submit applications for this. can we still work?
Bearly got my head around EE entry and BOWP and now I need to understand Implied Status!

Thank you :)

I'm on the same page. YES, you can continue working while you wait for BWP. I called immigration and they confirmed this.

I have no idea about this. probably not. Because you will need BWP to enter Canada? seniors please advise.

no you can travel while you are on implied status..better to travel with BWP or PR approval
 
"If a temporary resident applies for renewal of their work or study permit and their permit expires before a decision is made, paragraph 186(u) and section 189 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR) (the right to continue working or studying under the same conditions pending a determination of their application for renewal) apply only as long as the person remains in Canada."

How long is it taking these days to process BOWP? I want to travel back home end of August and return mid/late September but PGWP is expiring on July 26 while I have received medical request for my PR applied based on Alberta Immigration Nomination Program AINP. I am taking my medical end of this month. Contemplating if I should apply for BOWP or my PR will have processed before I leave end of August. Any takers?

There's a specific order of answers. You have to answer

Temporarily - More than 6 Months

Yes - applied for permanent residence

No - LMIA

Work - purpose of application

Try different combinations till you get to the right one.
