Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Any suggestion please. I applied for BOWP and OWP for me and my spouse after 21 feb which is when the rule of open work permit holder fee came into picture. At that time online the system took only $100 for me but did not charge any open work permit holder fee for my spouse application. How should i handle this situation now?
Will this result to any rejection of spouse OWP ?

Have you rang CIC Helpline ?

 

[CEC_DEC_27]

I called them they said once the application is submitted there is nothing we can do? Apart from withdrawing the application and resubmitting it..

Im sure its fine and if not it is a system fault not yours. I would guess they would contact you and ask you to pay more if there was a an issue . You should be hearing in the next few days anyway as you a February 21st applicant

 

[CEC_DEC_27]

Thanks for your reply. I am hoping the same thing. There is no mistake that is done from my side. It is the system issue. i have to wait and see there is nothing much i can do ?

Hi guys i m going to apply for bowp ..as i am on lmo i have closed work permit till 2nd of july my questions are
1) can i apply open work permit what are the approval chances
There is nothing complicated about BOWP eligibility. If you're in Canada, have less than four months on your current work permit and have an AOR, then you're going to get it unless you've ballsed up badly somewhere.


2) my pnp nomination has expired but i have mine aor and medical form so can i attach both instead of pnp or i have to attach pnp ,aor and medical form
The AOR and medical is sufficient.


3)i went to india in feb so do i have to attach my ticket with that
Your plane ticket??? Highly doubtful that's of any value.


4) what is basicaly lmia is it same as lmo
They're basically the same thing. LMIA's replaced LMO's. In my opinion, the name change was for aesthetic purposes - 'impact assessment' sounds so much more dramatic than 'market opinion'.


5)employer payment reciept
This isn't a question.


6) there was the two question both were related to the pr one was the did you already applied for the pr i said yes and there was one more above that i dont know what to write in that yes or no
Please put a little more thought into your questions because you have neither included these questions or stated where you are seeing them. Are they on the application, or the 'Come to Canada' questionnaire? I guess it's 'Have you been told by a Citizenship and Immigration Canada Office that you are approved in principle for permanent residence in Canada?' and 'Have you submitted a permanent resident application in Canada'?. If so, it's a 'yes' to both.


7)my checklist is imm5710,itinerary,proof of medical exam,pp or travel document,digital photo,proof thst u meet the requirement of the job being offered ,employer questionairie and declaration,imm 5802 lmia exempt,pnp certificate and employer fees reciept
Is this checklist is the right one and thanks in advance
When going through the 'Come to Canada' questionnaire, you must answer 'no' to 'Do you have a written job offer?'. When you answer 'yes', you are implying that you want a closed work permit attached to the employer (e.g. a permit via an LMIA). Your checklist with change accordingly, leaving yourwithout the extra employer documents.
