BOWP - How many of you have applied and received it successfully?

[Sukhie]

Is it 34 days for electronic applications? Do they send approval by mail or by email?

If you applied electronically, you'll receive an approval email. Work permit hard copy will reach couple of days after approval letter.

No worries, "place of issue" is not the same as "country of issue." You wrote the correct name.

Is it a problem if u have filled in your current employer but put in a cover letter indicating you are applying for a BOWP mentioning OB485, attaching your AOR and employment letter?

MyCIC for online applications has gone all wacky.

I have started my BOWP application a week ago, it is saved on the system but not yet submitted.

Just went into it and it wont let me access my saved application - makes me do the interview again and is now saying I need an LMO!!!

wtf!!

Please go back and check the right option at the bottom for an OPEN work permit. It will then not ask for the LMO. I had the sme issue first time i was trying to do it

 

[Sukhie]

For those of you who applied online, how do you get your "personal checklist code"? I am stuck in LMO question because I don't have LMO. I thought we don't need LMO to apply for BOWP. Am I right?

ON THAT CHECK LIST DONT CLICK ON WORK PERMIT - SCROLL DOWN AND CLICK ON OPEN WORK PERMIT then u wont have the LMo problem

Hi Guys,

I have few questions about BOWP application which I would like to ask forum members who have received BOWP:
1. I am applying for my wife and myself and was wondering other than the Generic application form 5710E, is there any other form that we need to fill in "individually"?
2. Q3 on the 5710E under I am applying for the following: what should we select?
3. Under the section Details of intended work in Canada what should be filled for Q1 to Q6
4. Do we need to apply for TRV at the same time as we are applying for BOWP or with BOWP in-hand we can apply for TRV?
5. Did anyone fill out the Schedule 1 form?

Thanks in advance!

5. Did anyone fill out the Schedule 1 form? it optional document ,but better to fill as it very simple document

Thanks in advance!

all my friends, before thinking too much without starting the process will always cause this confusions. Just jump into the process and start the application. Use their online application wizard, which will solve many of your doubts. Based on your answer it will build the required application forms automatically at final. Then we just need to download them, fill it and re-upload.

CIC manuals are very clear and crisp (if you are OK to put some effort to read and benefit from it yourself) Here what I can see is many of us don't want put little effort to understand the basics on such things and get the help only if required. If you ask very basic questions like "how do I apply for BOWP" very unlikely that you will get a good answer (after all nobody is getting paid here to explain that much )

I think details in CIC website and their online application wizard + the links given by canadacec2012 should be good enough to apply BOWP without any confusion.

thanks and all the best...

Update: I am not particularly talking about any of the questions raised in this thread, but generally telling.

Just am double checking... I'm applying via mail, I don't need to send any photos right?

Could I use the COPY of my Stat. Dec. of Common Law Union from my PR application? It's dated 9Nov12

Correct, no photos needed. Don't know the answer to your second question unfortunately!

Hello,

Could you tell me how does it work for the Health Insurance in Quebec on the BOWP case?

I read the RAMQ website, but it's not clear about bridging... Will I lose my Insurance?

What about if you applied by mail? Is there any approval email before the hard copy is sent out?

I am not sure, but I'd assume so. Don't they state that they will send communication via email if you write down your email address? I applied via mail as well.
