The online application was updated two times;
1. change of status to open
2. change the documents required to "No documents required at this time"

Applied on 28th April and got approved on 18th of May 2016 ... pretty quick as against 3 months wait in 2015
20 months is the average. The actual processing time may be even longer. I myself have been waiting for 21 months (August applicant).Sam_2016 said::-X :-X :-X :-X

20 month(s)
It is not even an average. This is just a number to stop people sending them requests about their application status...SamuelWang said:20 months is the average. The actual processing time may be even longer.

You have enough time left don't worry about bowp at this point. If I be you I won't apply for bowp until September . Just wait and pray for final decision on your file until September.kumar_montreal said:I am Sep 2014 CEC applicant and currently waiting for PPR. I am currently on closed work permit expiring in October '16. Please advise if I need to apply for BOWP or shall I apply for extension of my closed work permit ?
I called the CIC helpdesk and they advised that my application is in progress and background check is almost complete, so, just need to wait.
