Ainp AOR (acknowledgment of reciept)

[Kate8kate0]

Hello can someone please clarify, I am very confused. When is it you can apply for bowp?,is it when you receive you AOR ( acknowledgment of reciept) (which comes quite quickly right?) when you receive aor are you safe; can apply for bowp and not need another lmia?

Thanks so much

You can apply bowp only after getting aor from cic which takes 2-3 months
U can get aor from cic after you are nominated by province and cic confirms acknowledgement of receipt
Cheers

You can apply for a BOWP if your existing WP is due to expire within 4months and you have already obtained your AoR from CIO.

See here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/temp/work/prov/bridging.asp

Bridging work permit: eligibility parameters
To be eligible for a bridging work permit, the following parameters must be met:

the foreign national is currently in Canada;
they have valid status on a work permit that is due to expire within four months;
they are the principal applicant on an application for permanent residence under the FSWP, the CEC, the FSTP, or the PNP (see note below);
they have received a positive eligibility assessment on their permanent residence application under one of the Economic Class programs above; and
they have applied for an open work permit.

Note: Foreign nationals in the PNP are eligible if they have provided a copy of the nomination letter issued by the nominating province or territory with their application and there is no indication that employment restrictions exist as conditions of the nomination.

It should be noted that the following foreign nationals do not qualify for a bridging work permit:

foreign nationals in Canada under section 186 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (work permit exempt) situations;
foreign nationals who have let their status expire and must apply for restoration in order to return to temporary resident status;
foreign nationals whose work permits are valid for longer than four months and/or who already have a new LMIA that can be used as the basis for new work permit application;
foreign nationals applying for a bridging work permit at the port of entry;
spouses and dependants of the principal permanent resident applicant;
provincial nominees who have not submitted a copy of their nomination letter with the application for a bridging work permit, or whose nomination letter specifically indicates employment restrictions.

Determining if a positive eligibility decision has been made
For the purposes of determining if a positive eligibility assessment has been made, the processor will review if the Eligibility Assessment value is set to “Passed” in the Global Case Management System (GCMS). If this decision has not been entered yet, for the purposes of these instructions, a “positive eligibility assessment” will also be considered made when the following is confirmed in GCMS:

For FSWP applications, the status of the Ministerial Instructions activity has been set to “Met” or a positive Final Determination of Eligibility letter or e-mail has been sent.
For PNP applications, the status of the Eligibility EC-QC/PNP activity has been set to “Passed” or the Acknowledgment of Receipt letter or e-mail has been sent by the Centralized Intake Office (CIO).
For CEC applications, the status of the Eligibility CEC activity has been set to “Passed” or the Acknowledgement of Receipt letter or e-mail has been sent by the CIO.
For FSTP applications, the Acknowledgement of Receipt letter or e-mail has been sent by the CIO.
