Guys,

Any option available to apply for a WP or Visa to Canada after getting the AOR? Will the AOR help in any way?

I have to apply from outside Canada.

If the BOWP is not an option for you, then you will need a job offer and approved LMO to apply for a work permit. The AOR unfortunately doesn't help. If you want to apply for a tourist visa - then you would apply just like anyone else. Having the AOR may actually be a negative if you want to visit as a tourist since to be approved, you must demonstrate that you are a genuine tourist and have no plans to remain in Canada long term. However having the AOR will show that you actually do want to live in Canada (rather than just visit).

I understand. So it seems there is no option :(

I don't understand in what way your response is related to OP.

Same. 8) 8) :p
don't mind me but it kinda goes the same for the both of you.

OP stated for options.
I stated what I was going to do.
Which seems like a easier route if possible.
But since OP is not in town, he has no other route other than the LMO but if he could get a BOWP, it would be so much better.
