I applied for a BOWP the day before my work permit expired. I have been waiting 60 days for the eCOPR. My understanding is that yes you can get another job when you're on maintained status BUT it is a very unusual and difficult scenario to explain to employers. They might just pass over you because it's risky and unusual if someone else just has a normal visa situation (or citizenship of course).

Did you received the bowp approval?

I confirmed my presence in Canada on September 18th. Still waiting.

Called IRCC to ask about the delay. They said they have huge backlog in Montreal VO and can’t tell how long it will take.
I wonder what's holding up our eCOPRs. It's been 2 months already. Has the quota for this year's PR already been met?

Received my eCoPR today after 62 days. Portal 2 was received the 5th of september and informations uploaded the same day.

Montreal VO
Congrats! Even if frustrating, you at least got it now.
Hoping the cards won't take that long. The "journey of patience" will end soon!

Fingers crossed.
