Hi, I just got my BOWP rejected, and mention that I should stop working immediately. The reason for execution is that I did not upload my AOR when applying but there was no provision or space made or instructions to let me know to upload it or I would’ve done that.
how do I speak this decision? What do I do? I’m pretty distressed abt this

It is very clearly listed as part of the eligibility criteria, and there is space to upload it during the application:

To be eligible, you must

  • live in Canada (and intend to live outside Quebec) at the time you apply for your BOWP
    • You can leave Canada while we process your application.
    • However, if you leave Canada after your work permit expires, you can’t work until your new application is approved.
  • either
  • be the principal applicant on your permanent residence application
  • have submitted a complete applicationfor permanent residence and passed the completeness check
    • Submitting a profile to the pool is not the same as applying for permanent residence.
    • Make sure you understand how Express Entry works.
  • have your acknowledgement of receipt letter
    • We send this letter to your account after we get your permanent residence application

That said, you should send it via webform immediately - http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/contacts/web-form.asp

Did your original WP expire?
Good question. If it did then OP has no status and must stop working. Not sure reconsideration would work because OP must also restore status first, and cannot work until BOWP is approved. And reconsideration is if there is an error.

Hello all, my SOWP expires on 31 August, 2024. Looking at the processing time (92 days) I am worried I should apply for BOWP ASAP. My situation is as follows:
AOR Received: Feb 1, 2024
PR Application Status: Background Check in Progress (please see signature for more info)

1. Can I apply for BOWP now with AOR?
2. How do I show (or may be I can't show in my case?) that I have "passed the completeness check"?

TIA.

1. Yes
2. Completeness check is that you submitted all the documents. So, AoR is enough.

Apply for BOWP based on AOR and after couple of days you will receive a confirmation that will allow you to legally work in Canada without extending your SIN number. I applied for BOWP March 20th 2024 and since then waiting for updates.
