My BOWP timeline:

Applied on: Dec 26, 2020
Biometric updated: Dec 31, 2020 (Given for Express Entry earlier)
BOWP Approved on gckey: February 05, 2021

(My Express Entry profile is still in progress and it shows 88% completed)

It took 1 month and 10 days to process my BOWP application.

Good luck everyone with your applications!
can you mention the duration for which it was approved? Is it like a year from expiry of current visa ?

Hi All,
I am going to apply for BOWP. Looking for help with the following queries. Thanks in advance.

A) Which option should I select while filling up BOWP application?

1) Apply for a work permit with the same employer
2) Apply for a work permit for the first time or with a new employer
3) Restore my status as a worker
4) Get a new temporary resident permit

B) Do I need to select ‘Open Work Permit’ in the type of work permit?

C) Can I attach same document that I used in PR application for ‘Original offer of employment’? Or I should get a new one. It’s been almost four months I have applied for PR.

It is valid for 1 year from date of approval
Lets say my closed work permit visa is still April 15, 2021 and I get an approval for BOWP on Feb 15, 2021 till Feb 15,2022. Then does that invalidate my closed WP altogether? How does that work?

I had selected- Apply for a work permit for the first time or with a new employer. And attached no employment letter. It approved normally
