I have seen some cases BOWP was approved after getting fired even if there is still more than 4 months remaining on current work permit.

Is this true?

As long as we get AOR,are we eligible to apply for BOWP in case of losing a job?

yes it is true that you could apply BOWP but to be eligible A letter (Acknowledgement of Receipt) is issued to the applicants once their application has passed a completeness check. This letter indicates the following: “CIC has reviewed your application and determined that it meets the requirements of a complete application as described in section 10 and section 12.01 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations.” This is the official Acknowledgement of Receipt letter and it may be used to support a BOWP if all other requirements are met.
For this you could request by CIC
 
Thank you.

Regardless of work permit expiry date,those who get AOR are all eligible to apply for BOWP .

Am I right?

WP expiry date basically must be less than 4 months but in case of getting fired thid rule doesn't apply.

Is it correct?

I'm wondering if they decrease the score of ITA even though after getting ROA,and my application is refused.

No, of course not. If they have applied and gotten the initial AOR, then a person must also have a valid work permit at the time of the BOWP application, and the work permit must be due to expire within 4 months. The applicant must also be in Canada. But there is no requirement to be employed at the time.

WP expiry date basically must be less than 4 months but in case of getting fired thid rule doesn't apply.

Not really. The rule still applies. But sometimes applicants have pleaded their case, and sometimes VOs have made exceptions and granted the BOWPs. There is no guarantee that this will be true for everyone.
 
Thank you.

AOR is the letter from CIC that we are supposed to receiveas soon as we submit the reqired documents?

Do we lose the eligibility for EE application if we lose the job?
It means job offer is going to be cancelled because most of us get the job offer from current employers.

In my opinion,job offer is required to get AOR but it's not necessary after that.

According to a recent change 1st AOR letter (the one right after submission) is sufficient for BOWP for EE applicants, there is no need to wait for R10 AOR letter. The application will be held until R10 completeness check is done.

This is definitely a good news for people who are running short of their WP remaining time. Thank you for sharing this information.

Is it applicable for both paper and online application?

The source says EE applicants, and I think PNP nominees must not have job restrictions in order to be eligible. Paper based PR applications still need to pass R10 completeness check before applying.

It doesn't mention anything about paper based or online BOWP applications, I assume both can work.
 
Thank you .
I'm EE applicant not paper based.
In my case I've already been eligible to apply for BOWP even though my WP expiry still remains over 4 months ?

Your visa still can not be valid for more than 4 months at the time when you apply. Before that, you are not eligible.
