Hi Team,

I applied for BOWP on 10 Feb 2017
Today my BOWP application has moved to "Approved Status".
But i did not receive any email or further instructions what to do.
Can any of you Guide me what is the next step.

Regards

Wait 24 hrs for the Inland Canada Approval letter. It'll state the validity of your BOWP. Congrats!

Hi OMNI.MCA,

Did your PR application move to R10 state before the BOWP approval? Can you share your timelines if you can?

Just wondering does approval of BOWP has any meaning in regards to PR application?

Is it a good sign that PR is progressing in good direction?

I read somewhere that BOWP only gets approved if eligibility and R10 check for PR is completed successfully.

I received my PPR on March 16th and I have already sent my passport for COPR. My AOR was Jan 10 and I applied for BOWP on Jan 19th. The BOWP status is currently still 'On Hold'. Can I request a refund after my COPR?

Hello everyone,
(Asking this question on behalf of a friend)

He is on a closed work permit and may need to apply for an extension, his work permit is not LMIA supported. He will be applying based on an AOR from an ITA he will get through EE.

Can he apply for an open work permit or would he need to apply for a closed work permit under the same employer?

Please advise.

Thanks.

Current processing time for BOWP is 36 days. If you dont get your PR approved by then apply for BOWP on April 25th. I see that you got AOR in December, so more likely your pr will be approved any time soon.
