So after waiting for a couple of extra days i decided to call CIC about my bowp application that i sent on feb 18th.
They let me know that it was approved yesterday and will be mailed today!
for some reason my cic online profile still hasnt been updated, maybe they forgot to do this.
I hope they remember to put it in the mail!

Hi Forum members,
I received my BOWP yesterday. I applied on Jan 16 (Paper application). But I submitted my wife's SOWP application along with mine, she didn't receive it yet.
somehow, a relief, knowing somebody is on the same boat as i am.. i thought, mine is an exceptional case... because, based on other forums, we were expecting to receive both at the same time. hopefully, we'll get our SOWP, soonest!!

Hi all,

I made a silly mistake that came to my attention now.

While filling BOWP application for, for question related to document number; i provided file number instead. Will this cause any issue?

My concern is that after I get BOWP, I want to apply TRV as I am running out of time I hope CIC accepts such mistake...

Any comment guys...

Thanks,
Jul2014

Just for your information, I applied my 2nd BOWP online on Feb 17, and my status changed on April 21, and received the permit yesterday (April 23) by regular mail. Hope this help!

Just wondring!!!!!
Is your spouse is here in canada or outside of canada? Because i have applied for my spouse with my work permit and she is out side of canada.
I could be wrong but if spouse reside outside canada it take longer to complet their application.

Not surprisingly, I am in Ottawa. I suspect it might take more days if you are outside Ontario.

I am outside Canada. I think we made a mistake to include my application together with the BOWP of my husband because we know someone who applied for SOWP in our home country and got approved in two days.

Husband approved of BOWP since April 5, such a long wait now.. Been thinking to withdraw application and apply here outside Canada.
