hi guys, i just got approved. applied on jan 10th.
Congrats,
This means that now it takes approximately 90 + days to review an application.
And since they will not be working this Friday and the Next Monday, it may take a lil bit more.
Patience is required

Hi everyone,
My application for BOWP was approved last Thursday. I had a notification on Thursday but the actual message was shown today
AOR January 15 Approved April 18th!

From my understanding, it takes approximately 90+ days for approval.
In some cases when the applicant has other people depending on him, it may take less time.

I live in Vancouver, I will let you know when I receive the work permit in my mail Box.

Good luck to everyone.

Banks don't need your SIN when you're applying for loans/mortgage. I never give my SIN out
Sorry this is out of the conversation topic.

Have you ever applied for mortgage?

If you dont have a permanent status in this country you definitely have to give your SIN to get a mortgage or a loan. Otherwise you can just dream about it Mr Nino-in-Canada

Please spend some time to get to know your rights

Canada’s Privacy Commissioner isn’t too fond of using SINs on mortgage applications. Her office put out a report June 8 that states:

A “SIN is not required to conduct a credit check.”

“There is no legislative requirement for the SIN to be collected for [mortgage purposes].”

“The Office of the Privacy Commissioner is of the view that the SIN should not be used as a general identifier and organizations should restrict the collection, use and disclosure of the SIN to legislated purposes only.”

“We recommend that no private sector organization request the social insurance number from a customer, and that no customer give the social insurance number to a private-sector organization, unless the organization is required by law to request it.”

If you're told otherwise, then they played on your ignorance!

Yea, Good luck with getting a mortgage as a temporary resident without giving the bank your SIN.
Also, make sure you show this report to him/her as well.
