2 months of backlog have ripple effect.

Ooo yeaaa... for sure.. i am not denyin just givin heads up it will happen

Usually it does not take that long. Max 2-3 weeks.
Before landing, you are not PR yet, so technically you are still on your WP and you don't want to lose your status. So, when your current permit expires? I think you need to have a valid permit for the landing.

don't worry about the BOWP application fee. You can get reimbursed. Processing of BOWP itself takes 2-3 months (by then you are most probably landed) so, even if you apply for BOWP, you can withdraw it after landing. They will reimburse you, if they haven't touched your file.
Edit: Check my timeline for example

Perfect. So once I get my COPR I can withdraw right away, right? or should I wait till I land?

Did you get the full refund or the partial? How many hoops did they make you jump through for the refund?

Nothing but luck. You have to wait till the officer picks u your file. That is it.
Hopefully it will be soon

If your current WP expires soon, you have to withdraw it after you did landing (when you are a PR). This is to make sure you don't lose the status. But, if you are 100% sure that you can land before the expiry of your current WP, you can withdraw it. If you give me more details on when your current WP expires, I may be able to help you.

Yes, the give me the full refund, without any hassle or problem. So, BOWP is processed on a FIFO base. You have to wait till your turn and the officer picks your file (usually takes 2-3 months from application) and finalize it. If before your turn, you withdraw it, then the officer confirms it and initiates your refund. Then it takes 2-3 weeks to get the refund

Your case is held up. If you are in SS. you will see nothing in GCMS. You have to calm down. I know it is difficult. Take care.

I just called CIC and they said for BWOP, they are currently processing the applications submitted at March 2nd. Mine is 12 May and they said I may still need to wait couple of months. Is it true?????? Anyone know?? Couple of months really? The processing time shows only 7 weeks.

Got it. My PGWP expires June 23 but I have already applied for extension so I am on implied status right now. Might have to miss an upcoming holiday since I cant leave Canada yet.

Just got confirmation that my PPR documents arrived in Ottawa already so I think i Should be ok. Gonna schedule my landing interview ASAP and get my money back, thanks for your help.
