My BF got a message today saying that his BOWP has been approved and will be mailed to him. He applied for it on January 19, 2016 and his last WP expired om February 19,2016 so he has been on implied status. This is such a relief as we were worried about what would happen if he had to quit his job before getting PR.
We weren't positive he would be approved for the BOWP because his job and employer are both listed on his nomination letter. However, there is not anything that says there is a job restriction on his PNP letter and when we asked the MPNP office they said there wasn't any job restrictions on him. His last WP was employer specific. He managed to get it just before they added the employer compliance fee last year with his PNP nomination certificate. His first two WP'S were open because he was on IEC work permits. It was with the EIC permits that he was able to get a job and qualify for MPNP once he had 6 months of full time work and a permanent job offer.
We are sure he will get PR soon but it is nice to know that we don't have to feel stressed about it. The notification said his WP will be good until March 2017. We can just relax and wait for his PPR.
