hello all...

I have posted about my questions regarding to BOWP.

I received AOR on: Aug 8, 2014
My PGWP expired on: March 5, 2015

I want to extend my open work permit here and in the form of Details of Intended Work in Canada. (I apply online)

1: Should I fill that section? what if I don't?
2: I don't have LMO, where should I get it when I don't think I can one.
3: What if I don't attach job offer?

I am also required to have medical exam too.

Thank you for your helps

You do not need LMIA to apply for BOWP. i entered "Not Applicable" for this field.
Also, you do not need to send a job offer letter but if you have it then i suggest you send it. I sent my job offer and also mentioned what job i will be doing (i had been doing same job for over a year). I got open BOWP so no issues there thankfully. But i know people who got BOWP approved without job offer letter attached to the application.

If u have a valid WP which is going to expire in less than 4 months, yes u can Apply for BOWP. Can u tell me when ur current WP is going to expire?

b. how long will it takes to get BOWP.
Depends when u applied.. I got in 65 days but I applied for paper basedin August. Applying online will take significantly less time but I didn't hv AOR thus applied paper based .

Regards,
Amit.

1 valid WP which expire withing 4 monts
2 be present in Canada
