Applying Bridge Open Work Permit (BOWP) on PNP Approval letter

[JKedia]

Hi Folks,

I'm currently on my PGWP work permit in Canada; which is expiring in Sept 2025 (i.e. 6 months from now). Also I have applied for PR via PNP Approval (Non-Express entry). I got my OINP Nomination Approval Letter – Masters Graduate Stream [NO Restrictions on Employment] and applied for PR. As my PR application is via Non-express entry; as per current timelines the processing time is approx 21 months. Also I haven't received AOR from IRCC yet.

I have a questions;
1) Should I apply for BOWP on my this PNP letter or I have to wait for AOR from IRCC and then apply?

Thanks,

You cannot apply BOWP without your AOR from the federal piece of process.
