My BOWP was approved February 9th and we received our visas in the post on February 15th, so it took 6 days for us. We are in BC.

I received a 1 year open permit, which I believe is standard unless you have an LMIA or PNP. It was dated from the day it was approved, so a year starting February 9th 2017.

First I got a notification saying that the WP is approved. After that I received another notification (an hour later I think) in CIC. it was a PDF file stating the validity

 

[RabinJi]

Thanks guys for your prompt response,still now i didn't receive any notification so i checked again the PDF file but nothing is here,let me know where exactly i could see that file?+1 for both of you guys.
Thanks

Hi,

From this page:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/temp/work/prov/bridging.asp
It seems like spouses are not eligible for the BOWP, it's only for the principal applicant.

My question is:
What can I do for my spouse?
What kind of work permit can he have?

Hi guys,

I am new here. Currently running out of time so would really appreciate any help / advice.

My situation as of now:


- Got my ITA on Jan.25, about to submit my e-APR for CEC

- Employed full-time, PGWP expiring on March 7

Question:

Once I submit my e-APR and receive the notification (that many claim is not an actual AOR) - can I still use it to apply for the BOWP?

I got very confused after reading lots of different opinions on AOR for BOWP and I don't quite understand if the rules have changed or loosened and if whatever you receive immediately upon your e-APR submission is the legit version of AOR that CIC now recognizes for BOWP?

And so after I submit my e-APR hopefully tomorrow should I submit an online or a paper application for BOWP? I understand that online processing times are not as long now, so they might get to my application before my e-APR passes the completeness check. In this case - will they reject my BOWP application? Or is it not the case anymore?

Thank you!

Very worried.

You can submit your BOWP using your first e-APR/AOR.

If your R10 is not processed by the time the VO starts working on ur BOWP, ur application will be put on hold untill ur R10 is passed

Thank you so much!

From reading the posts from 2015 and 2016 I got an impression that those applications just get rejected immediately, but I guess things have changed...
