Hey folks, Aug-17-16 applicant here.
A question for you all:
I'm inland AINP applicant and waiting for my MR as a lot of you are and my current BOWP (bridging open work permit) is going to expire at the end of Jan-18, so should I apply for another BOWP? I tried to initiate an application online today, it didn't have such option other than the same option of applying for your first BOWP. I am already on my BOWP (not PGWP, not regular open work permit, it says" maintained as per R183(6) APR pending" on my permit) and I recently quit my job so I can not provide job offer proof as it is a required item for the first-timer BOWP application. My PR application timeline is going to reach 16 months mark in mid dec-17 (based on the mid Aug-16 AOR date) which is in 2 months, so should I just wait out and don't even bother getting any other work permit extension?
Any thoughts or info from experience are appreciated. Good luck to all of us on the waiting game!
