Hi everyone! I sent my application for PR, received at CIO Sydney Nova Scotia on July 17th. I have not get my AOR yet and my current work permit will expire on December 10th. In normal situation I should get the AOR in about 3 months, bit this is different, I made everything with enough time. Then my question is: Can I apply for BOWP before my work permit expires, along with an explanation letter, to stay in Canada with Implied status and then when I get the AOR, send it to update to the CIO? I'm worried because I didn't expect 6 or 7 months to get my AOR. Thanks everyone!
