hi anilgurung,
i am in the same boat.. i have applied for PR under CEC on aug 8. my permit expires on aug 30..
my wife is on open work permit. is it possible to send the application for BOWP and send the AOR later and explain the situation.
Hey Mansari,
it seems that July Applicants that got their application received on June 24 had their AOR received on Aug 15 so that is a rough estimate of 7-8 weeks.
Your game play would like be in such an approach.
You applied CEC on Aug 8 ( estimated app received Aug 12) , expected AOR would be around Sept 30 ish. (around 7 or so weeks)
Your BoWP expires Aug 30.
It seems that you might have to apply it on Aug 29 (to be safe) or Aug 30 (pushing it) to make it in brief window that you might recieve your AOR by (if you do it online)
Online has a processing time for 30 Days while paper has it for 67 days.
Judging by this, online might be cutting it but paper route is very safe for you.
Please remember you would be on implied status once your application has been sent and you can work past your expiry of your work permit.
regards,
Anil
