BOWP concern

Hi, sorry for making another thread on this subject but I'm kind of nervous.

So I applied on Apr 3, on Apr 9 I got an email said my application was updated but when I checked MyCIC there was nothing, it's still in "Submitted" state. Haven't heard anything since.

I saw a thread the other day that a member applied on Apr 9 and he/she already got approved, that's why I'm freaking out here.

Anyone has any inputs on this? Did anyone ever got their BOWP without approve email or status change on MyCIC???

Thanks.

First of all, the processing times posted on the CIC website are average processing times - hence, some applications
will be processed faster and some slower than that.
There will always be applications being processed faster than yours.
The email you're talking about is a known glitch and applicants sometimes receive emails without there being
any updates on their application. All you can do is check your MyCIC account regularly and wait for your application
to get approved. There's nothing else you can do.

You may call CIC help center and verify status of your application. It is possible that they can provide more details on your application than available on-line.

is it ok to apply for bowp after 1st may? does the new rule affect the bowp?
We didnt get any new rule under CEC.Only change they made is reset the application limit i,e 8000 from may1st-----april 30th 2014.So you can apply for Bowp when you get AOR.

Ok so I have to call them now, this is ridiculous.
What they're going to tell you is, that processing times vary. Some applications are being processed
faster than others, some slower. Patience is the key.
