Now I am being asked to submit : Document: Itinerary, Travel
You must provide a copy of your flight ticket or booking, if available, and/or the itinerary of your visit (proposed route of your journey.)
And the fees also doesnt look right :
Fees
Fees Application Quantity Price (CAD) per unit Total (CAD)
Work Permit 1 $155 $155
Open Work Permit Holder Fee 1 $100 $100
The fee shown is an estimate based on the fees in effect on the day that this Personal Reference Code is issued. The actual fees to be paid will be calculated on the date of submission.
Total Price (CAD) $255

That's correct. You're applying for an OPEN work permit and therefore your current employer is irrelevant.

Unfortunately, those fees are correct. The Open Work Permit Holder Fee began on 21 February 2015, as detailed in the following CIC link:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/media/notices/2015-02-09.asp
I have reada few reports of the itinerary document being included in the application package, yet it does not appear on the document checklist for the application. I suspect this is a balls-up by the CIC. As with the last person, I recommend that you call the CIC to ask what they actually need you to submit.
Thanks a lot for quick reply arowberry +1 for u, are all the other questions correct :

Happy to help! Yeah I was pretty lucky with my application, it didn't seem to get held up anywhere. I suspect being from a visa-exempt country helped get through the security stages a bit faster and my work experience letter was particularly solid; so I don't think any doubts would have been raised over my application.
Best of luck

You are right. I am from China and stuck in background check more than 2 months. :'(
Need help.
I applied for BOWP - Paper application in Dec 23-2014 without submitting my AOR. Three weeks before i received my AOR and mailed to Vergville through canada post asking them to include the AOR with my BOWP application.
Now is there any way to ask CIC to confirm that they have attached my AOR to BOWP application?

Did you include a letter of explanation with the original application, asking the CIC agent to look up your UCI for your AOR?
Even if you didn't, I don't imagine you will have any problems. I can't imagine a CIC agent not looking up the UCI on an application. Getting apps without BOWP's must be pretty common at the moment (considering how long it took for some of the CEC apps to get an AOR).
You can't call the Vegreville office and unless your application has been processed, then I don't think the CIC agent on the central line would be able to tell you either.
