Hello,

I am about to apply for a BOWP paper. Could any of you let me know what you provided for

"Statement from the province that identifies the job and employer and states that:
- you are urgently needed by your employer who has offered you a job in that province or territory
- the job offer is genuine and will create economic benefits or opportunities. etc etc."

My nomination certificate does not have any restriction.

Thanks in advance for sharing your experience and input.
If your nomination does not have any employer restriction, you do not need to provide any related supporting documents.
I have nomination without employer restriction, did not provide any related supporting documents...

Though I did not get my BOWP yet, waiting for it, currently wait time is 9 weeks.

u dont need to have a job offer currently i am not working due to a leg injury it s been one year.
Sorry to learn that, hope you are getting better now.

Okay, in that case, you just simply applied for a regular open work permit and are automatically being issued a bridged open work permit, is that correct?

I am asking because I can't find such kind of permit option in CIC website, my job offer will be expired after Dec. so this is most important thing I need to figure out.

Do you think it will make sense if I apply for it in Nov. presuming they won't send the PPR after Dec.?

thanks

Hi!Vignesh!
This is a reminder that u need to comply if u havent submitted anything, dont touch schedule A unless they ask u specifically about schedule A.
If ur passport or ur accompanying families passport will be soon expired or within 6 months valid u have to renew,
Police clearances all the countries u have been too within the last 10 yrs that includes ur home country.
And right of permanent residence fee. Once u have submitted everything the next is MR.so better act fast.

My PR application is under review. I just received an email from them with a pdf attachment (see below). I did not submit my Police Clearance and Fees but submitted my Passport copy and schedule A initially with other document. Is the PDF a generic one sent to all even if one or two documents are missing? because i dont think anything is missing in my Schedule A. Please reply....tks in advance.

I have file number but no medical request yet.

Thank you very much.

Here is the letter:
THIS IS A REMINDER EMAIL - PLEASE READ EACH SECTION CAREFULLY TO SEE IF IT APPLIES TO YOUR APPLICATION.
FOR ANY DOCUMENTATION OR CORRESPONDENCE YOU SEND, PLEASE INCLUDE A COVER PAGE THAT LISTS YOUR NAME, DATE OF BIRTH, UCI AND APPLICATION NUMBER.

PASSPORTS
Passports for you and all accompanying family members must be valid at the time of visa issuance. If your passports have expired or will be expiring within the next 6 months, you must apply for new passports as soon as possible. You can send a Copy of the Biodata Page (page with photograph and name) to the following addresses below.

POLICE CERTIFICATES
If you have not already done so, provide Original Police Certificates from each country and territory where you lived for six or more months in a row since the age of 18, for you and all family members over 18. If you delay in sending in these police certificates your application will be delayed.

MISSING SCHEDULE A INFORMATION
If you have a copy of the application you submitted please review the application in particular the schedule A Background information. Section 8 Personal History and Section 12 Addresses must cover the 10 year history prior to your submitting your application or beginning at the age of 18 whichever is the most recent. If you left gaps in the dates and they do not cover the entire period send in a newly completed Schedule A to provide complete information. If there are gaps in your personal history or gaps in your address history your application will be delayed.

RIGHT OF PERMANENT RESIDENT FEE (RPRF)
This is reminder that if your Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF) is outstanding, you must pay this fee before a permanent resident visa can be issued. The RPRF will be refunded if the application is refused, if you withdraw your application or if you choose not to use your visa.
IF YOU HAVE ALREADY COMPLETED ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS MENTIONED ABOVE YOU CAN IGNORE THIS LETTER.

Hi Yaanlpc!

They are basically called Bridging work permit bcoz we are waiting for pr, there is no option to choose from if u applied paper or online. It's the same as renewing a regular work permit, it will depend the validity on ur passport expiry date.
Hope thise infor will help u .

Yes, you were right. I spoke with an agent at CIC and was informed as exactly the same as what you advised me.

There is no best time, but you can not apply four months in advance of your current permit expiration.
So any time in between 4 months to your permit expiry is a good time.

Is there any reason for you to get such a long delay?
I thought most early may applicants got their PPR a while ago.
It is even much worse than me.
I am so sorry for you.
Got an email from them early April to update my Schedule A.

I think thats what caused the delays.

my suggestion is to wait at least one month before expire the current work permit,then apply online, in couple of month all this processing delays may get in track thats why i mention like that.i got the opw for two years.
for online application u have to answer some questions and after answer all of them u will see what u have to submit for the opw.dont worry if u need help of filling application i can help u .

Is there any key question you think you have to answer yes or no?

Much better to send it now, coz sometimes we overlook somethings that causes refusal,depending how long is the process, i would suggest by the time that ur new work permit comes out the old permit shiuld still valid just to be safe and not to be on out of status if u got refused.
Piece of advice better do it the soonest within 4 months of validity. .

And Rasan, how did you file your IMM5710e form or something else like it which has one box for job duration from which date to which date, and LMIA etc? as you know, which is used to be dependent on the job offer, but if no job offer, what else can I fill in?
