Hello,
I am currently in the process of PR (CEC). I received my AOR in August 2022.

I am currently on a PGWP which will expire in February 2023.
Now, I want to apply for BOWP, however, my passport expires in July 2023.

So as per my understanding, I will only receive BOWP until July 2023 if I apply with my current passport.

My questions are:
1. If I apply using the current passport expiring in July 2023 and receive BOWP until July 2023, would I be able to ask for a BOWP extension for the remaining time once I receive a new passport?
2. for CEC applicants, what is the duration of BOWP received generally?
