Strangely enough, I was just approved for PR and received my eCOPR, so the BOWP and my partner’s SOWP applications are now irrelevant. They have been pending for 8 months and I just sent IRCC a request to withdraw them and get the fees refunded. This is not how I envisioned the immigration progress going. Our lives have been unnecessarily stressful, disrupted and precarious because they never even looked at our work permit applications. I hope you guys don’t have to wait nearly as long as I did. Good luck!!
