Am I eligible to extend my work permit and how long can I extend for?

[scylla]

ou may be eligible for an open work permit if:

• you’re already working in Canada,
• your work permit is due to expire within four months, and
• you’ve applied for permanent residence under one of the following:
  • Federal Skilled Worker Program
  • Canadian Experience Class
  • Federal Skilled Trades Program
  • Provincial Nominee Program

You may be eligible for a special type of open work permit called a bridging open work permit.

You also need to meet the general eligibility requirements for a work permit.

When you apply for your open work permit, you must provide certain supporting documents or your application will be refused.

I can't help you any further. I've already posted the answer three times. Being in the pool does not qualify you for a BOWP. Asking the same thing over and over again won't change the answer.

No - you cannot apply for an extension if you are in the pool. Again, you must have enough points to be selected and receive ITA. Then you have to submit your complete application and receive AOR. Only then can you apply for a BOWP.

Thank you so much, your information is very helpful. I may need to apply for a study permit just in case I can not get the BOWP.
BTW, I am working in a company for almost one year, may I ask what is called the work permit received from sponsorship?

Sorry I was checking information on CIC while asking questions in ord to figure out the best option for my specific situation. Didn't mean to ask the same question repeatedly. Appreciate for your patience.
