Since u already have AOR from CIC u can apply for BOWP which is open work permit.but u can only apply when u have 4 or less months left in ur current work permit.i would say get BOWP since its open work permit.with ur certificate u will get closed permit tied to ur employer so u if quit or got fired ur work permit wont be valid so BOWP is better choice.

I'm in the same situation as the 1st person but my WP expires in Feb. Applied for BOWP on Dec 1st and today received a refusal with the explanation: "You must submit a letter from the province that nominated you under the Provincial
Nominee Program that DOES NOT stipulate conditions or restrictions indicating you
must work for a Specific Employer, or work Under a Specific National Occupational
Classification Code. (If these stipulations exist on your Nomination, you are NOT eligible
for a bridging open work permit)"
Thinking what to do next.

You need to send email to AINP officer or call them. They told me that everyone from AINP should get BOWP.

I just filled an electronic form to apply online and the difference from BOWP checklist is I have to provide documents such as
Offer of Employment
Proof that you Meet the Requirements of the Job Being Offered
Employer Questionnaire and Declaration

I hope this time it will work and I will get my WP

I have sent my online application for BOWP with out AOR. I thouth that when they check my document I got AOR and i send it later. But l didnt get AOR and I have got refused about BOWP. I have got refusal letter and there is written 4 paragraphs on it. Two of them were ok for me but 3nd was about AOR and 4th was about restriction. I was worry about 4th and send to AINP email to give me letter that I dont have any restriction. In 30 minutes the officer call me and told that I sholdnt worry. I dont need the letter and l dont have any restrictions. They told me that I should wait for AOR and send my aplication again
