HI Friends,

I have a question. I have a permanent full time job and my work permit is ending soon. I have to apply for Bridge open work permit.
Can you please tell:


Details of Intended Work in Canada

2)Details of my prospective employer
a)Name of Employer
b)Complete Address of Employer
4)My occupation in Canada will be: Job title and description

Can I put N/A for everything or should I fill all option with my present employer name or work?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

Anyone has any idea exactly how much time will it take to get BOWP..? My work permit is going to expire in June so basically I have 2 months left and I am not sure about the processing time.

If anyone know then please let me know.

Thanks

1) I mentioned the date when I first came as a student.

2) In the document number, I mentioned the document number on the work visa that I have (the one I got based on the PGWP)
