[Rick2212]

HI Rick..
I am in process of applying BOWP.
I have my PR application file in process.
what should we answer for the question below.
'Are you a spouse, common-law partner or dependent child of a person who:
Holds a Work Permit for a job in National Occupation Classification O, A, B;
Holds a study permit and is a full-time student at a university, community college, CÉGEP or other authorized educational institution;
Holds a Temporary Resident Permit that is valid for six months or more;
Applied for Permanent Residence to an office in Canada and was determined to be eligible for Permanent Resident status (first stage approval)
Is subject of a removal order that is unenforceable.'
Yes /No.
I am the principle applicant and my wife has a valid work permit and job in NOC B category.
Thanks

If you are the principle applicant then you should answer this as No

is there anyway to check the status of BOWP application submitted via lawyer? like calling ircc?

I applied for PR via consultant who holds login credentials etc. to IRCC website (myCIC profile). I got the AOR pdf file from the consultant, So, now i need to apply for BOWP in some time as Closed WP is expiring in April.

Do i need to use the same IRCC login to apply for BOWP (maintained by the consultant) or can i create a new login and apply for BOWP? If same login need to be used then, I again would need to take consultant's help which i want to avoid.

No you don’t need same . You can create your own GC key account and apply from their.

I submitted mine on aug 16 and it was approved nov 26. I honestly expected it to take much longer but within 9 days of biometrics it pushed it through which is odd as it should have been exempt from needing biometrics.

Biometrics for PR seemed to trigger my BOWP approval too. Still waiting on my refund for biometrics.

while applying for BOWP, what form do we need to fill out? and when they ask this question which option should I choose?

I am applying for one or more of the following:
1-WP with a new employer
2- Initial WP or WP with a new employer
3- Restoration of your status as a worker
4- Temporary Resident Permit

Thanks for the help!

I enquired with Ircc by calling them. They said that filling 1 or 2 doesnt make any difference as you would get an open work permit. Same form is used for other purposes s well apart from bowp, this question plays key role for those purposes. Hence for bowp, its immaterial whether you mark 1 or 2

I'm still waiting to see my refund for it also! I have my doubts as to whether or not we'll get anything back without asking for it.

I hope so because otherwise paying for BOWP bio and PR bio are some very expensive fingerprints
