There's certain criteria that need to be full filled prior to apply for BGWP. You can apply for BGWP prior to 4 months of your original WP's expiry. You can apply for your BGWP now; just FYI - CIC officer will start working on your BGWP application only when your R10 Eligibility check is done/completed from your PR application. If your PR comes prior to get BGWP result than you can ask for a refund for BGWP's fees.Thanks for your suggestion, I have just raised a case on IRCC webform to explain and add that missing info. Finger crossed. Hope everything is going well.
By the way, my PGWP will expire in Mar, so do I need to apply for Bridging work permit now? Or I can wait till few days before expiry date?
Thanks for your help!
I hope this helps you.
