I don't have a valid TRV, my Current closed work permit expires on April 10th, and I'm leaving Canada on Feb 13th, I got the AOR on Feb 6th and applied for Online BOWP on the same day.
Couple of questions:-

1) Am I still eligible for BOWP? if so will that be approved? I'm not sure if it will be approved because I'm leaving Canada before my BOWP is approved.
2) If I'm lucky and my BOWP is approved, then can I apply for TRV from India?

Please help me.

Sorry but i didnt understand ur logic. If ur work permit is expiring on April 10 .. Y R U GOING BACK ON FEB 13 ????
 
Hi guys

Does anyone know how to let CIC know about new employer? I quit my job 2 weeks ago and I'm starting my new job this Monday and don't know how to let them know do I still need to get letter of employment from the new employer?
Thanks

The answer is "yes" for your first question. My friend did the same recently and he got approved.

Dude his scene is a little more complex. He doesnt have a TRV, his permit expires on April 10, and hes flying out on Feb 13.
Once you leave the country ... there aint no way they will give u a TRV from india even if a BOWP is issued.
My best friend had a closed permit contract for 2 years and went after the first year to india for a vacation and in spite of telling him to get a multi entry trv stamp he said he would go to india and do it cos he still had 1 more year of valid permit.
Too bad .. he never came back .. they rejected his TRV from india and after that he never got it again and his work permit expired and hes still in india thinking why didnt he use 150$ and get a TRV.

Ya agreed. I have no idea about the TRV situation.
I said "yes" for his first question. As I am sure that one can apply for BOWP and then travel outside Canada.
 
hi guys, please help...

Im trying to finish my Open work permit application.

1. first of all when i started of there was no option showing as Bridge Open work permit. I choose an option saying Open work permit. Hope thats correct ?

2. In IMM5710 form first page 3rd question:
Q: I am applying for one or more of the following:
a. Apply for work permit with same employer b.An initial work permit or work permit with a new employer c. Restoration of your status as worker d. Temporary resident permit

Should I select option d ?

3. In the same form page 3
Details of Intended work in canada
Im not sure if I have to fill this ? also in the same section Q6 is asking for LMO number which we dont need

below I have options asking for employment details where i have to enter current employment and past employment details.

4. Did you guys attach the AOR email as a supporting document ? there is nowhere its asking for AOR number. IF you guys added as a supporting document where did you attach.. coz I dont see an option other that "Add an explanation Letter " possibly thats where i could add as far as i could think.

Sorry for the long post. Anyone plzzzzz advice as I would like to finish my application today. Appreciate you help. Have a great day.
 
Hi Winterfox, you are correct, we can't get the TRV from India for BOWP, I called CIC office and they mentioned that you will get the BOWP to the address mentioned in my application but you cant get the TRV from india, so I can't travel back.

It is the same my bad, now I'm deciding to quit my company and stay in Canada as I'm already in Implied status.

So not sure what other implications will be there, and I'm checking on the same.

Choose other - and write Bridging open work permit in the adjacent column

2. In IMM5710 form first page 3rd question:

NO. If u plan on working for ur current employer then tick A

3. In the same form page 3

Write down what u currently are . ur job title.

yes enter for last 10 years including present employer

4. Did you guys attach the AOR email as a supporting document ? there is nowhere its asking for AOR number. IF you guys added as a supporting document where did you attach.. coz I dont see an option other that "Add an explanation Letter " possibly thats where i could add as far as i could think.
AOR goes on a work document and then attach word document in the "Explanation letter" section in the online application section

Sorry for the long post. Anyone plzzzzz advice as I would like to finish my application today. Appreciate you help. Have a great day.
