CEC eAPR & BOWP submission checklist

[nasknihal]

Hi everyone,

I am expecting ITA with 469 points under CEC soon. As such, hoping to apply for PR and BOWP in quick succession so thought I should get all my documents in order (scanned and ready to upload) the minute I receive the ITA.

CEC application documents:
1)Forms:
IMM0008 ( main form and schedule 8 ) ->completed
IMM5669-> completed, I have added my personal history and address history on a separate pdf that I will attach since the number of rows on the form were not sufficient
2) Proof of Studies: Degree and transcripts scanned in two separate pdfs (let me know if I need to consolidate these into one)
3) Proof of Work Experience: 3 pdfs for 3 employers with employment letters, T4s, NOAs & pay stubs attached.
4) Medical Exam confirmation: Scanned confirmation from clinic with UMI number and barcode on right corner for CIC to identify
5) Front page scan of passport with all relevant biographical data
6) I don't need police check since I have been in Canada since age of 18.
7) For CELPIP score, do I need to scan anything or will I just need to enter the registration number like in my EE profile??
8 ) Also for photo, do I need to scan it or send it physically to CIC? I am unsure about this, any help is appreciated.
9) Proof of Funds: I don't think I need this as a CEC applicant but I got it ready anyway to avoid delays.


BOWP app:
1)IMM5556E- Document checklist complete
2) IMM5710E- Completed and validated
3) Current PGWP also scanned
4) AOR- hope to get that soon after submission of eAPR above.


Please let me know if there is anything important that I may be missing that will prevent me from submitting the day after ITA arrives.

Appreciate your help on this.

Cheers,
nasknihal

2) Proof of Studies: Degree and transcripts scanned in two separate pdfs (let me know if I need to consolidate these into one)
I consolidated my 'Certificates and ECA's into one'
3) Proof of Work Experience: 3 pdfs for 3 employers with employment letters, T4s, NOAs & pay stubs attached.
4) Medical Exam confirmation: Scanned confirmation from clinic with UMI number and barcode on right corner for CIC to identify
5) Front page scan of passport with all relevant biographical data
I don't think this is necessary but I scanned the bio metrics page of my passport as well as all the 'Visa stamped' pages
6) I don't need police check since I have been in Canada since age of 18.
7) For CELPIP score, do I need to scan anything or will I just need to enter the registration number like in my EE profile??

4) AOR- hope to get that soon after submission of eAPR above.
Note this should be included in the 'Letter of Explanation' section
5. My checklist also asked for a copy of my 'Medicals', 'Passport' and a 'photograph'


Please let me know if there is anything important that I may be missing that will prevent me from submitting the day after ITA arrives.

You won't need these, because once you received ITA there will be online forms to fill in this information. But it is good that you have already sorrted this out, you can simply copy the information from pdfs and paste to in the online forms.

2) Proof of Studies: Degree and transcripts scanned in two separate pdfs (let me know if I need to consolidate these into one)
You will need to merge all the educational documents in pdf, because there will be just one place to upload the pdf for educational documents. Also, if you have an ECA of a foreign degree, make sure that goes in this pdf.

3) Proof of Work Experience: 3 pdfs for 3 employers with employment letters, T4s, NOAs & pay stubs attached.
Good.

4) Medical Exam confirmation: Scanned confirmation from clinic with UMI number and barcode on right corner for CIC to identify
Good.

5) Front page scan of passport with all relevant biographical data
Good. If you have any visa stamps, I would say scan those as well. It's always good to be safe than sorry.


6) I don't need police check since I have been in Canada since age of 18.
7) For CELPIP score, do I need to scan anything or will I just need to enter the registration number like in my EE profile??

Scan the score card and upload it in "Additional Information" section when you receive ITA.
8 ) Also for photo, do I need to scan it or send it physically to CIC? I am unsure about this, any help is appreciated.

Scan and upload. There will an option to upload a photo.
9) Proof of Funds: I don't think I need this as a CEC applicant but I got it ready anyway to avoid delays.
Good.

BOWP app:
1)IMM5556E- Document checklist complete
2) IMM5710E- Completed and validated

Hello, sir. Do you need to mail the physical PCC documents to CIC? Shouldn't you just upload it in the EE system?

can some one please tell me the process of getting medicals done? i thought that one couldn't get upfront medical done ? is it mandatory to send in with application or can we do it when cic asks for it later on?

You can get your medicals prior to receiving an ITA, however at the time you submit the documents after receiving an ITA, your medicals must be valid for 6 months or longer.

Here is the website to find a doctor of your choice:

my CRS is 465 waiting for ITA.. jus 2 months left for Open Work permit to expire (june 10th).. i dont know what to do next? apply for visitor visa or bowp without ITa??

any suggestion??

 

[JoacRy]

Hi @varinder1717, I think you can only apply for a 'Visitor Visa'. It is one of the conditions of applying for BOWP that you have a PR application in Progress. In your case until you get an ITA and file a PR application you cannot do this. Hence I would apply for a 'Visitor Visa'.

Happy to be told I'm wrong but here is my justification:

BOWP eligibility parameters
To be eligible for a BOWP, foreign nationals must

be currently in Canada;
have valid status on a work permit that is due to expire within the next four months;
be the principal applicant on an APR under the FSWC, the CEC, the FSTC, the PNC (see note below), or one of the two caregiver classes;
have completed one of the following APR stages:
their electronic application for permanent residence (e‑APR) submitted under Express Entry has passed the R10 completeness check; or
they have received a positive eligibility assessment on their paper APR submitted by mail under one of the economic classes above;
have applied for an open work permit;
have paid the work permit processing fee and the open work permit holder fee; and
have provided, as applicable, evidence (e.g., nomination certificate) that their provincial nomination is unrestricted.

I have never applied for one myself so I don't know the process but here's a link to applying for a 'Visitor Visa':

I sincerely hope that even though you apply for this you get an ITA and can then file a BOWP. Good luck
