Thing is, I expect the BOWP to be approved while I am in the states. My current WP expires in March 2014, but for
my job I need the BOWP and for what I know, as soon as CIC issues a new WP the previous one becomes invalid.
But if I keep my old WP, proof for the application of the new one I should be good, right?
Hey there,

I was travelling in the states when my BOWP came through. My WP had already expired but I knew the BOWP would be coming through and it was mailed to my Canadian address. When I re-entered Canada I had the BOWP approval email and they were okay with that. They actually tried to reprint my BOWP but their system wouldn't let them as it had been sent to me in the mail.

That was exactly what I was hoping to hear, as I'm going to be in the same situation, but my current WP would still be valid.
So in the states you simply printed the confirmation email and showed that email to the officer at the POE.

Thanks and +1

Hi Guys,

I have withdrawn my CEC application which I sent in April, 2013. I got approval of PR on my Federal Skilled worker application. Can anybody update my case on timesheet? Thanks and I wish all the very best for all applicants. Cheers ;D ;D

correct - when they approve the BOWP you will get a email and it says the new WP is in the mail. So I just printed that out and presented it to the border guys at YVR. They were able to see on the system that the new BOWP had been sent to me, so they just let me through - didn't even stamp my passport!

So you did not have to go into that immigration office at YVR? Only the passport control and that's it?

Hi folks,

I just received my GCMS notes. Unfortunately for me, nothing new, but not very surprised.

Ecas status: Application received
Eligibility: Not Started
Security: Not Started
Criminality: In Progress
Medical: Not Started

Looks like most actions were done around May 2013, and some file transfers around July and August, but no notes.
I saw most of the due dates are May of 2014 *sigh*

passport control did send me to immi office as they were trying to print off the new BOWP - but in the end they just let me through!

Hey folks:

Any more updates on medical requests out there?? Seemed like a bunch came through on October 10, but then it went very silent.
