We are on the same boat! :'(
I got my AINP nomination Jan,2105 and filed to CIC on Feb. At the same time, applied for BOWP without AOR, I got refused on April 21, after my work permit expired.

I went back to my home country after.

Currently I don't have any status, and in my home country. I want to know, can I apply this LIMIA EXCEPT closed WP in my country?

I was thinking to apply a TRV to be back Canada as a visitor, and reapply a closed WP in CANADA. however, just know from here: has to be applied outside of Canada if you are a visitor? Is that correct?

The requirements for LIMiA EXCEPT CLOSED WORK PERMITare :
1.AINP nomination letter
2. Job offer
3. Letter of support from province
4. Compliance fee paid by employer
5. IMM 5802 form filled by employer (copy need to be enclosed in application package)
EXCEPT what I have listed above,anything else is required

Could someone give me a answer? Please help....

Hey there, it's better to apply from your country of citizenship. I am currently in Canada now, and applied through New York for the WP just last week. (now will have to wait for like 2-3 months)
Yes you can apply inside your country for the LMAI exempt WP. Yes you have to apply outside for a WP outside Canada if you are on a visitor status in Canada
I would also advise you to list some extra documents when you are applying inside your country, depending where you are from.

Are you from a Visa Exempt country? If yes, they will issue it on the border, but it also depends of the visa officer there. They didint issue me anything, said they cant, because I am not from a Visa exempt country.

The applicant has documented training and experience to be employable in occupations related to NOC 6421 Retail Salespersons and Sales clerks or in a related occupation. The applicant has been working in Manitoba since August 2012 and has long term offer of employment from same employer. On these bases, the applicant has demonstrated the intent and ability to establish successfully in Manitoba and contribute to economy of this province" This is my letter of approval. I have my file number and medicals. My open graduation work permit is going to expire next month. Now tell me is there anyone who applied for "Open work permit" with this kind of restriction or this kind of LOA and they have got there OBWP.

"Is there any who got BOWP with this kind of nomination letter"

Just bridge the permit, if you have an AOR from the PR application, which looks like you have. Go to the online questionnaire and fill it out.

Actually I have my AOR and even my medical is also submitted by my doc already. But my lawyer is not convinced I don't why, he said you have NOC written on nomination so you need compliance form from someone. And I am on Open Graduation Work permit. He is confusing me.

That is strange, i mean I am sure the lawyers knows better then me, but still, you should be able to bridge your WP, as long as you apply before it expires.
Try calling CIC, they sometimes give good answers.
