You are eligible to stay / work in the province as long as you have valid workpermit, it doesn't matter it is bridge open wp / closed wp.

I am in BOWP and working for the last 6 months.

i was studying too on a PGWP for the completion of my bachelors. so the work experience during the study cannot be counted towards CEC.

Don't worry. Your BOWP is not void if app got refused. I were in your situation and consulted CIC and several lawyrs. As I understood, as far as there are no specific conditions to your wp ( such as wp is automatically void when app got refused) your wp is valid. And there are no such conditions to BOWP. (Conditions for wp are mentioned on wp itself).

I second this opinion.

Since BOWP is valid for one year and yours will expire in March 2016, that means you got your BOWP only recently?

Can you share your timeline? (I will apply BOWP this month too, but no MR yet...)

From what I learnt from this forum, your status is still valid even your cec is fortunately rejected.

Sorry to hear that...
But can you tell us why they refused your application?
