Hello everyone! @legalfalcon
I've been following this thread since the beginning.
Does anyone here had a message like this? What does the "100% complete" means? It seemed that there's no progress over my application. I applied thru a representative. I am starting to worry that they might refuse my application. Pls enlighten me with this message. I need help. Thank you!

Your application is taking us longer than usual to process
Application received: June 2, 2020

Guys I just received a refusal letter for my BOWP, stating that

To be considered for a bridging open Work Permit (WP) you must be currently in Canada and submit proof that you have sent an application for Permanent Residence (PR) as the principal applicant under one of the following programs.

I have a pending CEC application, and I submitted my acknowledgement of receipt with my application in the client document (letter of explanation) as well. I don't understand what is going on, I am freaking out. Please someone help me. :(

Call them immediately, explain this to an agent and request reconsideration.

Are you living in Canada and filled Canada as the place of current residence in both applications (PR and BOWP)? If so I guess this should be a refusal in error. Raise a webform or re-apply as soon as possible if your current status is about to expire.

I am living in Canada, and have used Canada as the place of residence in both applications. I am a CEC applicant, and I have applied for it before my permit expired. I am pretty sure I have submitted the acknowledgement of receipt (I have the latter of explanation I uploaded in front of me).

Adding to my last post:
There was a mistake in my pgwp that I could get fixed by simply calling IRCC and asking an agent to write a note to the officer. They looked at my file again and issued another PGWP and fixed their mistake. The agents can sometimes be very helpful. Call them. If you don't get a helpful one, raise a webform.

I was refused a BOWP. They said I didn't show that I qualified for an open work permit. I submitted a webform explaining that I attached my AOR as a LOE. They re-opened my application and granted the WP. Give it a shot!
 
I just called IRCC, and the call centre representative confirmed that she can see my acknowledgement of receipt letter and everything looked fine. (I submitted everything as one PDF)

She said she has submitted a request for reconsideration, and I really hope they look at it as soon as possible.

HI @petiterobenoire how long did it take for them to do that (and was it during the COVID crisis)?

Glad it worked out for you.
Don't worry, they say it takes about 30 days but for me they fixed the error in a few days.
