Hi,

Just had a quick query... While applying for the bridging open work permit does it matter what option is selected between Work with same employer or Work with new employer if the application is for Open work permit. Irrespective of the option selected, the work permit issued would be Open ? Also is there an issue if we select Work with new employer ?

I received AOR in Aug 2013 and am done with Medicals as well.

I am a PNP - International Graduate applicant and have received a job offer

Please let me know thanks!

No problem with new employer option. I selected that option and get my BOWP with no problem.

The paper application process does not call for photographs. Only the online application does. I found this curious but what can you do except follow the instructions to the letter.

Hi, I have a quick question which I hope you can help me with. Me and my Spouse have applied for PR and have our AOR, My Spouse is the primary applicant, so does she apply for the BOWP alone and me a Spousal Visa, can we submit together or should I wait for hers to be successful?

Hi Irish Rover,

I am a principal applicant for FSW PR. Generally some applicants say in forums that dependent Spouse should apply once Primary applicant gets his / her Work permit. However, in our case we applied together mentioning that my spouse is applying for OPEN WORK PERMIT based on my BOWP. This seems to be fine too as there are forum members who have done this.

My wife got work permit extension along with mine. She was a dependent applicant in my BOWP application. So yes go ahead and submit together as one application.
