Hi,

Processing time vary from Application to Application .... Currently 25 days on average.

When I Log into MyCIC account there is nowhere for me to select to apply for a work permit, only international experience Canada, or interim federal health program. I completed '' come to Canada'' application and was given a personal reference code, but there is no where for me to enter this code, and when i click international experience Canada, and enter the code it was the code is not valid.

Thanks
Paddy

You cannot apply BOWP with existing login used for PR. System doesn't allow. Please create a new account through GC Key and apply for BOWP. In my case also I could not apply BOWP with existing Mycic login (I used Secure Login) created for PR application.Later applied using new account through GC key
Hope this helps.

From MyCIC account you will not know if R10 is OK or not. You have to order GCMS notes to know that . But in general , R10 will be OK in 30 days from the date of your AOR.( Timing will change from Application to Application.)

Hey guys,

With PNP AOR, is it better to apply for BOWP online or paper? Please how long does each one take to be processed? My PGWP will expire in 3 months time and I hope to get my PNP AOR soon. Am also wondering if I get ITA for express entry before the PNP AOR comes, should I apply for BOWP via paper or online? When checking the processing time for BOWP, should I select 'work permit' or 'work permit (same employer)'?

Please I need your advice. Thanks
