hi guys,

when you send your BOWP paper application and it was received by the Visa Office, will they send you email confirmation and file number as a proof that you have a pending WP application?

Thank you!

No they don't, you need to send your application by recorded mail and keep a copy of the proof that it arrived in Vegreville. You should also make a copy of your application

Thank you! :) I'm praying my online application will be approved this March and the processing time will be much faster. This paper application will be my 2nd option for longer implied status. :)

They received my paper application on November 28th and I received an email yesterday. Unfortunately negative result, but I knew that because CEC returned my file because they reached the cap. At least I could keep working until yesterday and now I have to wait for the LMIA.

I hope you get your LMIA very soon.

Did you send your application to the "Same employer" address or the "New employer" address? Also, was the rejection email sent by CPC-Vegreville? I thought they only communicated via mail.

If you are rejected, they contact you by email. It doesn't particularly matter which address you use, though 'new employer' would be my recommendation.

Any of you sent the passport for the Visa stamp and when did you guys received it with stamp? Is CIC is delaying the process or what?

Hello Guys,

I have two question If someone has confirmed information regarding these please advise.

Q1: As we are applying online do we need to send the payment receipt to CIC as its mentioning in bottom of the receipt we need to send ?
Q2: I received a confirmation e-mail and read below my confirmation e-mail is it your e-mail is same ?
When will CIC contact me?
You are expected to provide a COPY of your passport with your electronic application. If CIC needs your physical
passport, CIC will request that you submit it to our office. CIC will also contact you if we require additional information,
documents or an interview. For general guidance on what to expect, you can visit
or consult the “What Happens Next” section of the instruction guide
associated with the application form you used.

Or its just a me they are saying about my passport ?

Please advise. Thanks

sorry dude for the late reply, it was for the new employer. I was being told to send as a new employer even though you are working do not mention anything about employer. I guess its because there is no any particular application for BOWP.

Hello Guys,

Have a question regarding BOWP.

If we are in implied status for 2months before getting BOWP, Will CIC gives BOWP starting date from previous WP expiry date or new date(CIC officer processing date)
