Did you get any update on your application? Did they approve it now?
Are you not in Canada right now? BOWP should be accepted if you have a CEC EE has not been rejected. Check with Legalfalcon!

Quick note on the status bar, people on this forum are really fixated on it, but it really doesn't mean anything to your application. All it means is the time lapsed between your AOR and AOR + 6 months
Oh I'm not concerned about the PR percentage, its Covid times I dont expect anything to go smooth. I'd just love my BOWP to come through before implied status just incase it gets rejected and I have to stop working

Fair enough, my IEC just expired this week but seeing other folks in this forum getting theirs approved who have applied just before me, I hope to get mine this week

What's your bowp application date!

Would anybody know how to proceed for US born kids (who are in Canada attending elementary school and having a study permit/visitor record)? I am applying for BOWP on back of my PR application (CEC). For the record, I did not apply for visitor visa for them when the family entered Canada but got a study permit at port of entry. Their study permit (which is a visitor record) mentions my work permit expiry date as the last date.
I read somewhere that they need to have Visitor record application extension, but not sure. Can somebody help?

Please do let us know once you receive it
Did you get any update on your application? Did they approve it now?
Not yet. The IRCC call centre agent submitted the reconsideration request as she could see the document they were claiming that I did not include with my documents. They did it last Tuesday, and asked me to give the officers two weeks or so to look at it and get back to me.
Got approved, YAY!
