Hi I am FSW applicant and my current work permit will expire soon.
I am thinking about visit my country and come back to Canada before the permit expired.

I was thinking about apply BOWP via online after coming back but I wonder somebody succeed to obtain that at the airport before.

I knew that bridge open work permit is basically INSIDE CANADA application but if I can get at the air port I will have no "No status" period. (I knew that I will be implied status though)

Also, if I can apply at the airport what kind of document do I need to prepare?

For my understanding is ..

-IMM 5710
-AOR
-Passport
-Photo
-Confirmation letter of Submitting PR
-LMIA

Maybe I need to print out CIC web page saying that we don't need to submit second AOR for BOWP.

Please share your thoughts ppl! :)

If you have a dual purpose LMIA, I think you can apply for a closed work permit at the border? Someone might be able to jump in here and advise?

you can't just turn up at the airport and apply for the BOWP, you have to either apply online through your MYCIC account or apply by mailing in the form to Vegreville.
You also don't just get implied status, you have to have applied for some work permit (not PR) and be waiting on a response from that application to benefit from implied status.

You will lose your implied status if you leave canada. And will not be able to come back until you get the pr or the new work permit.

Thank you for replying. Yup it seemed that I can't apply at the airport. Hum... :(
I will apply for BOWP inside if I cant do at the airport then.... and I understand I will get implied status after submitting BOWP before my permit expired ;)
