Hi Guys
I would just like to share my experience witg the forum members regarding applying bridge open work permit applications at port of entry.

Couple of weeks back I went to Niagara falls hoping to get BOWP. I was denied the same as the POE are not allowed to issue this kind of work permit.

I was also pointed to the eligibility section on CIC website below; this states that foreign nationals applying for bowp at port of entry are ineligible.

tcic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/temp/work/prov/bridging.

I hope this information helps anyone who has this question.
