But it shouldn't matter though as I'm applying for BOWP, there should be an option for CEC candidates. I'm answering any question wrong ? I see there is PNP in the list but no CEC or other option that applies to candidates who applied under CEC. This means candidates who are waiting for Passport request under CEC class cannot apply for BOWP ?
For the question:Have you been told by an Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada office that you are approved in principle for permanent residence in Canada? You should answer YES because you received AOR

It worked. Thanks. Now I have two options. Open Work Permit or Work Permit. What do I select ? Also, I do not have a job offer. I currently work fulltime and can this be considered as job offer ?

As I selected below. Do I answer yes or no for this question ? If I answer yes I have Work Permit option. if I answer no, I have Open Work Permit and Work Permit (Extend your stay) options

Do you have a written job offer?

Yes

Yes

No, having a full time job doesnt mean you have a written job offer.
By a 'written job offer' they mean that your employer received a positive LMIA to hire you, if it was so, then you would have to choose a Work Permit. Here is a bit more in depth about it: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=695&top=29

Since you currently have a PGWP ("open" work permit), you have to say "NO" to "Do you have a written job offer?" and choose Open Work Permit , because it will allow you to continue working for any company like now.

Also, make sure you submit a copy of your AOR when you apply

I've seen people getting updates on their accounts on Saturdays at 3-4 am, but those were mostly ppr emails.
I dont think you will get Approved status until you get your passport sent back to you

Is this applicable to Primary application only or dependents as well ? E.g. A Dependent in PR application is on Open Work Permit, that is expiring soon and hence needs to extend his open work permit. Please advise

Does your dependent include in your PR application? If yes, then you should say yes as well.
