Closed WP Vs bridging open work permit(BOWP) - Can i apply both at same time.

[Vagabond]

This was a old thread but I am facing the same issue. Can someone tell me what was the resolution of this. Can one apply both BOWP and Closed WP same time. In my case I have already applied for BOWP, and now my company wants to renew my WP for another six months.

The question is if I also applied for renewal of my WP for another 6 months, will my BOWP be valid under such circumstances?

i would recommend you to discuss with your manager/HR on BOWP option for further continue to work in canada and apply BOWP.

My company is going to apply for closed WP . But LMO has not been filed till now . This is the reason I am trying to look for more options .

If I apply for BOWP , both my closed and BOWP will have to processed at same time . Is this possible ?
