Not sure if anyone knows the answer to this. I applied for my BOWP before I got an ETA for PR. I am at the P1 stage now for PR and I also just a letter to pay for my BOWP. Are they linked? Do I need to proceed with the BOWP? There's a part in the letter that says if you want to stop your application to give a detailed reason why. Can I reply saying my PR is almost complete?
Please advise. Thanks.

When did you get P1 email? Do you have a valid work permit other or are you on maintained status waiting for BOWP?

From P1 to eCOPR (which is when you officially become a PR) you may wait 2+ months. If you're on maintained status, you run at the risk of loosing status, which may affect your PR application. I would just play it safe and pay the BOWP.

If you still have a valid work permit that's still valid for 2+ months, then you should be safe cancelling the BOWP application.
