Briding Open Work Permit Form Filling Question

[swapnil1984]

Hello everyone,

I have some questions with respect to form filling.

My background: I'm on Post Graduate Work Permit working for a software company since December 2016 (Offer Letter without LMIA). I have applied through CEC without PNP support. My current work permit will expire in first week of July 2017. Moreover, I see my background check as "Not Applicable".

This is what I have entered in the questionaire:
1. How long are you planning on staying in Canada ? - Temporarily more than 6 months.
2. Have you been told by CIC that you were approved in principle ? YES (I have the AOR which I got just after submitting the application).
3. Do you have a written job offer ? (Yes but without LMIA).

Form filling questions:
1. I am applying for one of more of the following:
Ans: A work permit with same employer (Is this right for Bridging Open Work Permit ?)

PERSONAL DETAILS:
7. Current Country of Residence
(Currently my status in Canada is Worker)

COMING INTO CANADA
Ques: Which one is the document no on work permit ? The one written inside the box or just below the box ?

DETAILS OF INTENDED WORK IN CANADA
1a. What type of work permit are you applying for ?
Ans: Open Work Permit (Is this right for BOWP ?)
2a. Name of Employer (If you are employed by foreign Employer who has been awarded a contract to provide services to a Canadian entity, please identify the foreign employer here):
Ans: Should I write my employer name here ? (Again, I do not have LMIA)

EMPLOYMENT
Give details of your employment for the past 10 years.
Ans: Can I add extra sheet of paper at the end of form if the space doesn't permit all employment details ?

Regards,

Correct.

Correct.
3. Do you have a written job offer ? (Yes but without LMIA).
You should put no. The written job offer is just in case you have a LMIA, which you don't.

You posted your question in the CEC forum, so your question is confusing. Can you clarify - did you apply under BC PNP, or under Express Entry with a PNP nomination?

Eligibility for the BOWP is different in those two scenarios....

Thanks for your response. My application is under Express Entry with a PNP nomination.
Actually, I don't know exactly what should I do? Do I need to get support letter from BC PNP? or need to apply separately?

Is your BC PNP employer-specific? If yes, follow the instructions here -
