Hello,
For context: my open work permit expires in a month. My NBPNP Non-express Entry PR Application has recently been submitted, but the AOR has not been sent to me. Fortunately, a work permit support letter has been given to me after getting nominated, which I can use to get a closed work permit. However, I prefer getting an open work permit through a BOWP using the AOR, if I receive it soon. The problem is I don't think I will receive it soon.
Now, I am planning on applying for an LMIA-exempt work permit using the work permit support letter, which should give me maintained status until I receive the AOR, at which point if a decision has not been made on the work permit application, I will apply for a BOWP and withdraw the first application. Is this strategy viable? Has anyone tried this before? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
