    Clarification on restoration of status - when do you need to apply for it?

    Dont think that is correct: According to the eligibility params: "They have valid status on a WP that is due to expire within 4 months;" That would suggest we cant do it as part of the bowp.

    BOWP - How many of you have applied and received it successfully?

    Quick question As it did not specifically state I needed to send it, I did not include a copy of my AOR with my application, but I did include the application number of my PR in the cover letter. At the time of sending off my BOWP I had received my AOR. Is this something to worry about? Has...

    BOWP - How many of you have applied and received it successfully?

    The processing times just got updated today and the Work permit processing time went from 36 days to 41 days, and the 'now processing' date is still 16th of August. This suggests that in the past week they have not processed any applications at all. Any idea what is going on? www...

    Does AOR = "approval in principal"? I answered no to that question as I thought that approval in principal meant that my PR had been accepted but we had not received our PR cards yet...? Can you confirm Thanks G

    Ok, reading the forums, I think I have managed to unconfuddle some of my questions. It sounds like they have changed the system since I last re-applied for my work permit renewal and that since we have put in a PR application, I am applying for a BOWP (correct?). So.. to modify my first...
