Applied for BOWP, did not submit AOR

[apriloneil]

Hi,

I was in Canada on an IEC which expired February 2019. Prior to that, I've submitted an application for my PR December 2018 and received an "Acknowledge of Receipt - application for permanent residence" within 24 hours.
A few days before the expiration of my IEC visa, I submitted an application for a Bridging Open Work Permit.
I did everything on my own without an immigration consultant or lawyer and now I'm worried I may have not done everything correctly.
Now I'm reading up that I needed to upload my AOR as a support document along with my BOWP application - which I have NOT done so. I've already submitted my application so it's too late to upload the supporting document. Would my BOWP be rejected without the AOR and is there any way I can correct this mistake?

Since my valid work visa has already expired, I am now in Canada with an implied status. If my BOWP gets rejected, what will my status in Canada be?

Any help would be appreciated thank you!

Send it via web form immediately.
If your BOWP application is rejected, you might be given an option to restore your status as visitor but obviously you wouldn't be able to work any more.

Thanks for your quick response. What does it mean to send it by web form? I've already submitted my online application and could not find any options to upload additional documents. Could you provide some guidance on that? Thanks

Thank you kindly!

I did exactly this, it was accepted and I received my BOWP without a problem. It’s a little unforgiving that IRCC outright rejects applications that don’t have the AOR attached, considering there is no space to upload it on the application.

Off course there is space to upload it with the application. I did it no problem.

Did you upload the aor after you submitted the application for BOWP ??

 

[donkykong]

Yeah, I actually added the AOR about 2 months after I submitted my BOWP and my application got approved a few days later

Did you attach medical exam result in BOWP? Can we use the same medical exam result for BOWP that we used when applying for e-APR?
