hey people supervisor at cic call centre told me that alone aor is not good enough for bowp u also need positive eligibility review letter or email
any 1 got that yet :o
 
I am not in that stage yet but i am 100% sure if you have AOR than you are set. you can apply for bridge work permit
 
AOR's used to take a while to receive after all your docs were submitted. they needed to check it was all in order. now they seem to be issuing them within 24 hours of docs being uploaded. makes sense you'd still need to wait until they've checked the docs and received the positive eligibility to apply for a bowp.

...for the purposes of these instructions, a “positive eligibility assessment” will also be considered made when the following is confirmed in GCMS:

For FSWP applications, the status of the Ministerial Instructions activity has been set to “Met” or a positive Final Determination of Eligibility letter or e-mail has been sent.
For PNP applications, the status of the Eligibility EC-QC/PNP activity has been set to “Passed” or the Acknowledgment of Receipt letter or e-mail has been sent by the Centralized Intake Office (CIO).
For CEC applications, the status of the Eligibility CEC activity has been set to “Passed” or the Acknowledgement of Receipt letter or e-mail has been sent by the CIO.
For FSTP applications, the Acknowledgement of Receipt letter or e-mail has been sent by the CIO.

So, depends on the program, if you have the AOR, it's accepted as a positive eligibility decision...
