Hi everyone,
I'm seeking advice as I am in a pretty tricky situation right now. Let me explain.
I have submitted my Express Entry profile in April, and I'm now sitting at 437 points. Considering the whole trend of 440 right now, it's reckless to expect an ITA soon (IMO).
I am currently working in Canada on a PGWP in a company where I started in mid-November 2016. The catch is that my work permit expires November 4, so I have very little time.
According to a couple of sources online, CIC counts work experience by month, which means I will have accumulated 24 months of experience in October (at the beginning, I suppose). That will give me a boost of additional 25 points.
Assuming the above is true and CIC keeps running draws every other week like now, I should get the ITA after the October 3 draw. On a side note, I am taking an upfront medical exam to not waste any time later. With that, I apply for PR as soon as possible.
In my understanding, after that the eAOR shouldn't take long to get, so I can use it to apply for a BOWP. From what I heard, it takes up to several months to receive..
So, provided that it all works out, is it possible to get an implied status for that BOWP and continue working at my current job, and if so, how?
Looking forward to your help,
Thanks,
Frank
