Hi!!


I'm sorry if this question is not specific/relevant enough for this forum. I hope my question falls under this forum.
I applied for bridging work permit on June 8th after receiving my acknowledgment of receipt (AOR) for my CEC Inland application. My work permit expires on June 23rd. Can I continue working while my bridging open work permit and my PR application is being processed???

Thank you so much for sharing that link. Much appreciated

Yes you can, as long as you applied before your current one expires. You have an implied status. Check this website: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/temp/visa/validity/implied.asp

However, if your HR asks about it, you need to ask a registered immigration consultant or lawyer to provide a letter explaining your current status.

Hope this helps~

Also, just to confirm, it's not any ordinary work permit, it is a Post-Graduate Work Permit that is about to expire. Even for these work permits (which are not extendible usually), the same implied status hold where I can work post expiry date, while my Open Bridge Work Permit application is being processed?????

To apply for BOWP we need an acknowledgement receipt, so how many days does CIC takes to provide AOR after you submit PR application through Express Entry system?

Please provide me an answer. Thanks a lot in advanc

Hi, there. I know it has been a while, but would you happen to remember if you also submitted a Letter of Employment, there?

Hi,

My closed work permit is about to expire and my job contract as well. I already applied for PR and I want to stay for the decision, so I will apply for Bridging Open Work Permit

The problem is that I don't have a new job offer, so for the form "imm5710e" I will choose "*An initial work permit….new employer". How should I fill the Prospective Employer information?

Thank you

Hi. I guess you could try to renew your work permit by submitting the form without a Letter of Employment, before your permit expires. But if I’m not mistaken, Bridging Open Work Permit is only for Open Work Permit holders.

Hi There...
Actually i have same issues like you have...
My job contract is finished...and work permit about to expire on 28 August 2019..
So which following option i suppose to tick mark when i fill up the 5710 Form..
1) Apply for a work permit with the same employer..
2) apply for a work permit for a first time or a new employer..
3) Get a new temporary resident permit(for inadmissible applicant's only)..
4) Restore my status as a work...
