Congrats! When is your existing visa expiring? I wonder if this fast processing is only for those people whose visa is expiring within the next few days.

Not exactly the case. People with a few months left on their existing WP are also getting approved in a matter of days. Not sure how they decide.

I thought so too, but there were a bunch of approvals for people whose visa is expiring in May or June now. I think it‘s just a matter of luck and depends on which officer gets the file.
Super frustrating, I‘m hoping to get it soon but there‘s just no way to know (or to speed up the process).

Congrats!

Quick question, What additional documents except for acknowledgment of PR reciept did you submit for BOWP??

Hi, I didn't submit anything else except for my AOR.

In my case, my current visa is expiring on July 14th. It's still quite a while. I thought it's gonna be processed for 3 months as I saw the processing time on the IRCC website. I was surprised that it only took a week.

Thanks for sharing that, although it doesn't make me feel any better
My next best guess is that people who are receiving BOWP in 2 weeks must have had their R10 completeness check already done. I think that is a prerequisite for bowp to get processed.

R10 completeness is one of the requirements to pass the BOWP, once your medical is pass means your R10 is also passed. If you didn't get your BOWP approved within 3 months after you applied you need to contact IRCC. Anyways, it would be even better to get BOWP later if your existing visa is still valid, cuz the less the overlapping is, the longer time you can stay.

My medical is not passed but have AOR, I applied in July 2020 for BOWP. still waiting for result. Is that the reason for delay?

If you have a question about this, you can request a GCMS note to see more detail.

Yes. You need to pass medical & biometrics before getting bowp
