Very useful information.. +1 for u !denny123 said:Hello,
I have been monitoring this thread from quite some time and i would like to share my experience with everyone. My time line is
ITA - July10th (FSW Inland)
AOR - Aug 5
Medical Passed - Aug 14
Applied for BOWP - Aug 26
BOWP Received - Dec 1st
I contacted CIC around November 30, regarding 2nd AOR. I called and told them that i haven't received my 2nd AOR till date and as per my last GCMS my R10 was cleared. CIC rep was so helpful that he checked my files and explained me everything. He submitted a request on my behalf to send me a second AOR. I explained him my situation that i have applied for BOWP without 2nd AOR as i never received it. He also gave me an update regarding my PR application. He explained me about the ghost emails that we all have been receiving, it is when my file was transferred to VO for review. He also gave me a timeline about the expected timeframe about when my file will be received back from VO.
After this i called again after few days to get an update regarding the status of my request for 2nd AOR. A very sweet lady on the other side checked it for me and said it is still under process and might take upto 2 weeks. So i asked her if i should send a CSE regarding my BOWP application. She said as my file is complete and doesn't require any additional documents. She also said that my PR file is also complete and everything looks good. I should expect my PR by the new year.
I hope this helps.

BOWP requirements have been updated/amended.fswaspirant said:Sharing my information here:

Denny123, thanks for the infomation. I had a question for you. I am on an LMIA based work permit, and it expires end of April 2016. What is your recommendation on when I should apply for a work permit extension / BOWP? It seems it took just over 3 months for you. To continue to live and work in Canada, Is it required that we get a BOWP before work permit expiry or its enough if we have applied for one by the expiry date?
Fswaspirant, thanks for sharing your timeline. I am not 100% sure about the requirements of LMIA based work permit but in a generic scenario if you have a work permit that is expiring in April 2016, i would advise you should definitely apply by the end of March 2016. As long as you have applied before the expiry of your existing work permit you are good. But if extension of LMIA based work permits have a special requirement then make sure that you follow them first rather than buying extra time by submitting BOWP application at a later date.fswaspirant said:Sharing my information here:
