Bridging Open WP Question

[EasyCanadaVisa]

Hi,

I have a client from UK on a WP. I filed for their PR under CEC 4 months ago. His WP is about to expire. We received the file number from CIO.

My question is:

1. Can I take him, his wife and kids to a POE and get a bridging open work permit for him and new visitor records for his kids who are attending a school here? Or it has to be filed online or paper application only?

2. Given that I live in Vancouver, which POE is the most suitable?

Thanks

Must be applied at CPC-V. You should know this...no POE applications for BOWP.
