I applied for my bridging visa about a week before my existing visa expired by paper, the processing time is about 3 months. I sent in my AOR with an explanation letter about 3 weeks later.
So I still have about another month before I hear back about my bridging visa, I am currently working and living here on implied status.

Thanks alot. However, do you know if I can do online application instead of paper. And if yes how possible would it be to send an AOR later through online

You can apply online but it is riskier as they process them a lot faster, if they start processing and you haven't got your AOR then it's declined and your PR app could also be invalidated as you no longer have status.
I believe you can upload documents on the online system, I haven't done it that way but other people have spoken about it here.

Hi. Sorry to give you a late response. I talked to my husband and he applied for a work permit, not BOWP ( cuz by that moment he did not get AOR). Yes, he received his work permit for 2 years in February. For this application, we presented the nomination letter, the support letter from the Province and the job offer from his employer. Again, please accept my apologies since I mixed the terms BOWP/WORK Permit. I contacted a lawyer here in Winnipeg and he confirmed that if there is no AOR do not move forward to BOWP. The balance of probabilities to get a BOWP without AOR is low and it is totally up the officer to accept it at a later date. I hope you find this information helpful.

So when you said you sent in your AOR, did you mean you actually posted it in as well instead of doing a Case Specific Enquiry? I have done a Case Specific Enquiry however, there's no application number for my AOR since they haven't put my paper BOWP into the system.

I posted it in with a covering letter referencing my original BOWP application, as I wanted proof with the registered delivery plus same problem as you with no application number.
Still no response yet, looking at current processing times for paper based visa extensions I reckon it will be another month or so before I get a reply.
