I need all your Advice/Suggestion/Help on the situation I am in.
My PGWP expired last week of January 2015. 2 days before it expired I applied for BOWP by paper.
I had applied for CEC in the first week of Nov 2014. I hadn't got the AOR yet when I applied for BOWP and was hoping that by the time the application for BOWP will be processed I would have the AOR. I did attach supporting documents with my application for BOWP such as explanation letter, employment letter etc.
Only to find a a couple of weeks later that my application for CEC was returned due to CAP being filled. At this point Express Entry scores hadn't come down to where they are now and it looked impossible to get an ITA.
I was certain that my BOWP application will now be refused.
As the situation stands today the score is come down to 453. My score is 410. I am hopeful of an ITA within the next month but you never know.
The problem is that checking the CIC processing times currently they have started processing January applications for work permits. This means that I might be getting the refusal any day now.
I am working on implied status and the day I get the refusal I will have to stop working.
I am trying to think what I should do in this situation.
Below are the scenarios possible.
1) I might get the refusal and ITA roughly at the same time. According to my understanding I won't be able to get a BOWP after refusal as one has to have a valid work permit to get extension (bridging).
What will I do in this situation. Will I be able to restore my status to work permit rather than visitor or something else?
2) Can I send an e-mail to vegriville explaining my situation and asking them to hold their decision stating the reason that scores have come down and I will be getting ITA soon. Or asking them to give me a work permit for a couple of months by which time the situation will be resolved. I know this sounds ridiculous but that is the kind of desperate situation I am facing.
Does anyone know if there is an e-mail address for vegriville?
3)Any other situation any one can suggest? Its just a timing issue now as stopping work will change everything for me. I am quite hopeful that the ITA will come. Its a question of when and how I will handle the situation with my employer.
Please comment. Thank you!
