Hello guys, I am in a stressful situation seeking help, my work permit is expiring today , nov 8th, so in order to extend my stay I am trying to apply b.o.w.p as I have already submitted my PR application. But the cic isn't accepting my bowp application, I couldn't upload file . I double checked and tried all possible ways I even tried putting nov 9th as expiry date. But still failed to upload the file. What could be the reason for this and what are my options now. Please provide me with valuable suggestions.

Yes I do have AOR
Now I have submitted Bridging work permit , on 8th nov, but my cic account says date received nov 9th. After some research done, came to know cic.gc.ca follows utc time zone , but when I submitted application, it was nov 8th est.
So it is soo tricky now . Not sure whether they consider my file or not.

Date and time of receipt of application
The date and time of receipt are important for determining if status is maintained under subsection R183(5). For electronic applications, the department uses Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) around the world to ensure that time is equal for all. Therefore, receipt dates and times do not depend on time zones; all applications must be submitted before midnight UTC on the date the applicant’s status expires. If the application was received after midnight UTC on the date of expiry, the applicant does not maintain their status under subsection R183(5).

so my application has high chances of rejection. In order to restore my status what should I do? What would you suggest. ?You need to apply for restoration and BOWP since it hasn't been 90 days since expiry. Did you get your BOWP approval by any chance?
