BOWP extension after 1st BOWP ends
- Thread starter snowyz
- Start date
I guess the only way to extend is by going through LMO Process (Arranged employment).snowyz said:
As stated in the original bulletin, it is possible to extend it on a case by case basis if your CEC application is still in process.snowyz said:

wouldnt you just apply for another BOWP. You meet the criteria - have a valid work permit, in canada, and have AOR. Just get another one.

To complement thisisauser's comment:
"The open WP is to be valid for the duration of one year from the date of issuance. Although the PR application should normally be finalized within a year, subsequent requests from applicants to extend their stay on an open WP will be considered on a case-by-case basis. "

Hi . I m also looking for this answer. Please let me know, did u apply for 2nd bowp. Or 2nd closed work permit . And how did it go.
In my case i have 1st closed work permit and may have to apply for 2nd.
LMO?? You have been under which stone all this time? LOL joking, LMO has been replaced by LMIA for a long time now.

Hi, does anyone have any updates on this? Any (un)success cases, etc? I'm in the same situation, my current BOWP will expire soon and I'm trying to figure out what to do. Many thanks!
