LMIA and Closed work Permit

[imansoor]

Hello Guys,

I have high wage LMIA in process (Tier 2) since 26 Sept 2024. As per IRCC processing time I should get results by 16th November 2024.
I am currently on Work permit Implied status since 30 Sept 2024 and status is expiring on 26 March 2025 or Rejection (Whatever comes first)

Assuming that I get LMIA approved before getting work permit rejection. If I Add 50 points of LMIA My score will be 543 CEC candidate.
1. If I get ITA after November and AOR, DO I need to apply for closed work permit or I can apply for BWOP Since I will be on maintained status.
2. Is it required for me to obtain closed work permit after getting LMIA approved.
3. If I apply BOWP will that create any issue with my PR file, since BOWP means open work permit?

Thanks in advance!

Posted processing times are just estimates and often wrong so I would not be counting on 2 month processing. You are also counting on there being a CEC draw. Also assuming you won’t get fake extension request denial for a long time. Have you applied for a CWP with LMIA?

Haven't applied for CWP yet since LMIA is still in process.

processing will dictate what you can do
