Well I had the same scenario but I have also applied for PR so instead of PGWP extension I go for bridge extension on the basis of my nomination.

I would suggest you to call the agent, they will send you the link and guide you according to your scenario either you can apply online or paper base application then start working on documentation.

Thanks!

I did not pay any fee....Since I was on open PGWP after applying my PR just fill up the BOWP application (paper base as agent advised me)

share my email contact with you

Please do not reply to this email.

Sir, Madam,

Thank you for contacting Citizenship and Immigration Canada. I am pleased to follow up on your request:

Bridging open work permit - Certain federal economic class applicants

You can apply for an open work permit if you:

Have applied for permanent residence (PR) in Canada under one of the admissible categories of the economic class and are the principal applicant,
Have received a positive eligibility assessment on your PR application or, if applicable, the Acknowledgment of Receipt from the processing office,
Are currently in Canada, and
Already have a valid work permit that is due to expire within 4 months.
For information on the admissible categories, please visit our website.

To apply for an open work permit, you must send an Application to Change Conditions or Extend Your Stay as a Worker to the Case Processing Centre in Vegreville, Alberta.

You must do this before your work permit expires. You keep your current status under the same conditions, until a decision is made (implied status).

The application is available on our website.

Visit our website to see how long it may take to process your application.






Re-entry to Canada with Original Temporary Resident Visa (TRV)

Generally, a new single-entry Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) or a multiple-entry TRV is necessary to re-enter Canada as a visitor, student or worker.

As an exception, you can ask to re-enter Canada with your original TRV, even if it is expired, if:

You will only visit the U.S.* or St. Pierre and Miquelon and will return to Canada before the end of your authorized stay.
An officer will ask you questions to make sure you meet all of the requirements before allowing you to re-enter Canada. If you visit any country other than those listed above, you will need a new TRV.

*Including its Territories and Possessions.







The information in this email is meant to assist you in understanding the immigration and citizenship policies and/or procedures. If you plan on consulting this email again at a future date, please visit our website at www.cic.gc.ca to ensure that you have the most current information.

I would also like to suggest other online services that you might find helpful:

As long as your new permit request is submitted before your old one expires, and you are not requesting any changes to the terms of the permit, you are allowed to continue to work under the terms of the old permit for as long as it takes CIC to process the application.

However, implied status only exists as long as you remain in Canada. Once you leave the country, you lose it. Which sucks if you have to travel for work...
