    Bridging Open Work Permit (BOWP) under express entry - connect here

    I received a 1 year open permit, which I believe is standard unless you have an LMIA or PNP. It was dated from the day it was approved, so a year starting February 9th 2017.

    Bridging Open Work Permit (BOWP) under express entry - connect here

    My BOWP was approved February 9th and we received our visas in the post on February 15th, so it took 6 days for us. We are in BC.

    Express Entry - e-APR Submitted in November 2016

    Thanks Tala! Our application changed to 'Approved' in CIC today, so I hope that means our photos/etc are all okay ;D and on top of that we received our bridging visas which I guess we didn't need after all!

    Express Entry - e-APR Submitted in November 2016

    Does anyone know how long (roughly) it takes to go from PPR > COPR? I submitted my passport copies/photos/etc to Ottawa and they were received yesterday morning. I'm CEC inland. Just wondering how much is left in the process at this stage :)

    Bridging Open Work Permit (BOWP) under express entry - connect here

    As I thought they might, our bridging visas were approved even though we received our PPR and probably won't be needing them. Oh well! I'm assuming there's no way to get a refund after approval?

    Hi everyone, Today is 29 days since I submitted my application for the bridging visa, so I was expecting an update soon. However today I received my PPR/Ready For Visa mail for my PR application which I understand means that my PR is close to being finalised! What should I do about my BOWP...

    Express Entry - e-APR submitted in December 2016

    Hi Ruby, I was very confused by the instructions with the travel form, the message I received stated that both my partner and I needed to fill out separate ones, and there were two spots open in my application. However as you noticed the form itself clearly states it should only be filled out...

    Express Entry - e-APR submitted in December 2016

    Hi Ruby, my application process was much the same as yours! Didn't get any update for medicals, then an email with request for updated travel info for my spouse and I. Still haven't figured out why they needed our travel info again but apparently this is normal.

    Bridging Open Work Permit (BOWP) under express entry - connect here

    Quick question- I know for a BOWP to be approved, my PR app must have passed the R10 completeness check, which I understand means all docs have been checked- does that mean if my BOWP is approved, they won't be asking me for any more documents for PR? I'm just curious because they requested an...

    Hi everyone. Just discovered this thread and it's been so nice to read about people getting their PPR already! Trying not to stress myself out too much by checking my application over and over, but yesterday it went to BG check in progress for the second time. Is there a general timeframe for...

    Confusion re: request to fill out IMM5562E Travel History form

    Thanks for the reply. I ended up calling CIC and that is pretty much what they told me to do. They also agreed that someone on the other end had made a mistake and my confusion was understandable. I ended up filling out the form as per the instructions in the form itself (including both my and...
