On a suggestion from the CIC call centre, I sent in the passport pages (the ones with the stamps) that I neglected to include in my BOWP application, along with an explanation letter and delivery details of the original application, in the hope that they can do me a favour and attach them.

I'm almost positive that this will not work, but it's worth a try, right?
All you can do anyway :) Good luck with that.

Are you able to logon to ECAS by any chance and able to answer me a quick question? To logon do we have
to put a dash '-' between the UCI or not?

You don't need the dash.

Hi, Im having trouble in enrolling MyCIC account online. My userid and password is created successfully, once I login it is asking whether I have a Client ID (I have). When I enter my valid details it says "unable to identify my details...". Can anyone give the call center number to call CIC and get the help. I need this to apply BOWP. Thank..

I had similar issue and I called to help desk and they raised a ticket which was resolved in a weeks time.. you can call to 1-888-242‑2100 if you are in Canada.

Hey Congrats !!! So your current WP is valid for more than 4 months and yet you managed your BOWP. Congrats once again. Could you please give me some inputs into the explanation letter. Thanks a lot in advance.

No, it had exactly 4 months left when I applied (valid till 2013/02/17). I guess you were confused by the way I wrote the date? year/month/day :)

Hi,

Anyone of you knows if it is possible to apply BOWP along with spouse (wife is outside Canada) once I have the copy of AOR?

My immigrtn consultant just texted me that my BOWP is approved for 1 year. I applied for it on Oct 16th. My visa expires in Feb 10, 2014.
I didn't want to attach any ROE or paystub at the same time, but she suggested that I attach some recent paystub to show that I'm still working.

So weird, that my payroll office just e-mailed my department today about visa expiring, and I got BOWP! Yeay!
'hope this rushes my CEC file!

Congrats! Did you include your spouse in your BOWP application? or just you?

Oops.. I knew it! :) I was asking in the first place about the possibility of applying BOWP along with spouse (she's outside Canada )on this topic. As you replied on my enquiry so I assumed you are married then. Anyway, congrats again on your BOWP.

Just heard about CIC introducing cap on PR applications under CEC. Not sure if any possible changes on BOWP policy on the way or not !!
