Hi Guys,

I need your help here.

My current PGWP ends in end of July. Technically, I can only apply for BOWP at end of March to fall in one of the requirements which is WP expiring within 4 months.

My question is: can I apply now? Based on the processing time, it will be definitely within 4-month expiry when VO can start reviewing my application. Or do I have to start applying until end of March?

The urgent need of doing this is that I need to apply for my wife's SOWP. without BOWP, I cannot apply for her.

Please share some insights,

Thanks,
Ray

You mean I don't need to wait until my BOWP issued to apply for my wife's OWP? I can apply both at the same time?

Yes you can; the 'Come to Canada' questionnaire presents you with the relevant questions to end up with an application package for the pair of you.
 
Hey guys

Could someone help me out with a question.

I applied for BOWP on March 14th as my current work permit was expiring on March 18th. As of today (Mar 18) it still has not reached the CIC office and the mail tracker says it will reach there tomorrow (Mar 19). Is this a problem? Also, while I wait for BOWP it is ok to continue working in Canada correct?

Thanks all.

Hi All,

I have a quick question. I received my AOR in December and my work permit is expiring end of June. I am thus, applying for a BOWP. I believe that I will be asked to undergo a medical exam when we get a request from CIC in relation to my CEC PR application. Should I also get a medical exam done for the BOWP or just wait for CICs request for an exam and do just one for both applications?

Thank you.

Hi,
the BOWP doesn't require medical exam.

Guys, I don't understand how to apply for the BWOP. Can someone please help me? I read the page on cic.gc.ca and it says to just submit Form IMM 5710. Do I just fill out the form and mail it? If so, what address do I mail it to? I have seen people here talking about submitting it online, how do I do that? I can't find this information anywhere.

Hi,
try to apply for the BOWP online, it's faster than paper based app.
First use the come to Canada tool (in CIC website) and get the unique code. Then login to your my CIC account and click on the visitor visa , study and/or work tab and enter the code. Then the system takes you from there.
