Hi Everyone,

a have a question for anyone who could help.

Considering that my wife has a closed work permit expiring in the end of 2018, and that we already applied for our PR around 2 months ago, can she apply for a bridging work permit, right after we receive our Acknowledgment of Receipt letter?

Thanks!

Yes, she can.
But BOWP has to be applied within the 4 months of Work Permit expiry date.

Hi there,
I have open work permit in Canada. My MPNP is approved. My PR file is in process, got married in March, 2017 updated CIC with all spouse documents, added my husband's name to the file in March, 2017

My husband applied online for open work permit on 16 August, 2017 and received medical request on 16 October, 2017. Medical was done on 18th October, 2017 and was uploaded as successful on his online account. Since then we didn't received any response and there is no update on his CIC account. As the processing time lapsed,he sent multiple enquiries via IRCC web form and emails to Delhi High Commission but never received any response or any information.

I personally contacted my local MP office and enquired about the application status and came to know passport request was made on 7 Nov, 2017. However we never received any email and there is no update on my husband's CIC account. We tried to contact CIC, Delhi High Commision mutilple times but no one is able to provide any information and is unable to guide us what should we do. We requested MP office again to look into the matter and they said they will work on it and let us know.

Any information or experience will be highly appreciated. Please let me know if anybody has information related to this situation. We would really appreciate your help.
