    Confused about the eTA

    Hello, My fiance (filipina) and I just heard that Filipinos can now apply for an eTA to visit Canada for up to 6 months, visa free. We excitedly checked the requirements and they make no sense to me. I require help in understanding the eTA. Specifically this requirement: you’ve held a...

    Can a foreign temporary worker on a closed work permit seek a new employer?

    Makes sense. Can she keep working at her current job until the entire process is complete on her new (theoretical) closed work permit, then jump ship?

    Can a foreign temporary worker on a closed work permit seek a new employer?

    That's perfect, thank you. Yeah, we know she can't work for someone else with the same closed work permit, we just weren't sure if she could replace her closed work permit with a new one, for a new employer. I've just begged her to start asking around. There's plenty of opportunities nearby...

    Can a foreign temporary worker on a closed work permit seek a new employer?

    My partner is a foreign temporary worker. She has a closed work permit, but lately, a new boss has emerged and is giving her a terrible time. Is it possible for her to seek another employer willing to give her a closed work permit, so she can leave her current job? By that I mean, continue...

    New PR confirmation portal

    Just received the email regarding this. I'm about to reply with my confirmed email address now. Does this mean I'm likely to get PR? My application is still showing as in progress and the last update was my medical exam check in January.

    How long is the Bridging Open Work Permit Valid for?

    Same question here. I'm confused. My BOWP is valid for 1 year. There's nothing regarding PR in my list of conditions. I have APR in my notes section on the document. I was always told a BOWP is only valid until you get a PR decision so I don't know which expiry date to believe.

    Confusion on how long I can stay in Canada with my BOWP

    Ah yes I think you're right. The pdf I referred to was BEFORE I was granted the BOWP. Reading through it again, I believe you're right that it was referring to the BOWP application, not the PR application. The pdf I received AFTER being granted does not mention July 5, or PR refusal, and...

    Confusion on how long I can stay in Canada with my BOWP

    My original open work permit expires on April 15. I submitted my PR application on Jan 1. I submitted my BOWP application in early March. I was granted the BOWP and I was given a pdf which says I can stay until July 5, or until I get a final decision on my PR application, whichever comes first...

    How do I apply for a BOWP?

    Update, I got it working. I incorrectly said "No" to the question on receiving an AOR, as the tool doesn't use the term AOR at all and uses an entirely different term that I've never come across before. I can't even remember what it was now, but after some Googling I realized it meant AOR.

    How do I apply for a BOWP?

    I'm on an open work permit. I didn't count points for my current job as it's not LMIA. But I did mention my employment to prove experience in my field. I applied under CEC.

    How do I apply for a BOWP?

    I can't seem to find the option on the cic website for applying for a BOWP. I can only seem to apply for a traditional Work Permit, which requires LMIA assessment. I have submitted my PR application in January and my open work permit expires in April. I have my acknowledgement of receipt letter...
