Expiring Work Permit in Feb 2015 and Applying PR in Oct 2014

[MrOptomist]

If your friend applies for PR under the CEC class in October, odds are very good that he would receive the "Acknowledgment of Receipt" (AOR) - which serves as the "positive selection decision" for CEC Class applicants - before his currently work permit expires - it usually takes 1-2 months. Then he would be eligible to apply for the Bridging Open Work Permit (BOWP) as well:

BOWPs are exempt from the 4-year limit...

Is this information still valid because on top of the linked page, it says the document is expired? Please clarify, thank you!
