Tips for a successful BOWP application

[spartan84]

Only principal applicant qualifies for BOWP. If she is a dependant, then she qualifies for an open permit.

thanks Jayson,
So our work permits are expiring at the same time, so will it be OK if i first apply for a BOWP, and once i get it i apply for my wife's Open work permit or we should file for both work permits at the same time ? kindly suggest

You're very welcome.
Apply for her permit once you get yours. Her permit depends on your status.

Does this mean that both principal applicant (BOWP) and spouse(Open WP) can apply for Open Work Permits at the same time as per the new BOWP bulletin ?

Realistically, One after the other (If the principal applicant has a valid status, dependant always get one), or with a detailed cover letter as our friend did (Let's not worry him).

Guys, is it advisable to include a letter of employment for your current employer in the BOWP application?

If those are questions about the employer then yes, or put 'N/A - BOWP Application' in those fields.
I'm not sure if those are required fields or can be left blank.

Yes, do that. Don't provide any information about employer as this might
result in a closed work permit.
