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

[sabidhawan]

I have seen a quicker response time in the cases of families , couples etc. May be thats the reason , may be they have a different set of officers ,who knows its really hard to predict .

Hey Guys,

I am getting a little anxious about my BOWP application. I have submitted (and received confirmation) my application on August 28th (online). So far no answer, and we're passed the 41 day delay (in my case 41 was October 8).

I called the CIC call centre yesterday hoping they would be able to provide any sort of feedback, but they sais as per the CIC website they are currently working on the applications submitted on August 16th so I might need to wait 2 more weeks which seems wrong as I have noticed some of you have submitted yours after me and already got the BOWP approved (congrats guys). They basically just told me to wait.

Anyone knows why it takes so long? Any idea how to find out about the status of the BOWP application?

Any suggestion welcome!!

Thanks guys

Hi MarieN,

This is what they have told to couple of friends here based on the timelines on CIC website.
Don't worry.. Your also will get approved in a day or two.
If you don't get any notifications after waiting for couple of days, call them back.

One of our friend had called CIC on Tuesday & he got the same answer, When he checked again yesterday they confirmed that his application is approved.

will do... thanks for your support HopesAlive

I opened up a new thread, but though I should post here as well:

We are currently waiting for our BOWP. I am the principle applicant, my partner is my dependant.

We are expecting to receive our BOWP decision any day now, but my partners work permit expires on monday. She will be on implied status, but I just wanted to clarify what will happen if we get a negative decision on our BOWP after her visa has expired.

Note that my work permit is valid until december, so it will only be my partner whose status has expired.

Questions:

1 - Would my partner need to apply for restoration of status (given that I am the principle applicant and she my dependant)?

2 - Could my partner flagpole and re-enter canada as a visitor (would there be any issue doing this?). Then I could re-apply for BOWP with her as a dependant?

3 - If we do need to apply for restoration of status, how long does the process typically take?

4 - If we do need to apply for restoration of status, can we do it at the same time as reapplying for BOWP, or do we need to restore out status first?

Thanks!

Hi

I just received a confirmation letter that my BOWP was approved and letter sent off yesterday.

I applied on Sept 5, 2013.
My current closed WP expires March, 2013 but my husband also has an AINP nomination certificate which I also attached to my application together with a copy of my AOR for my CEC app currently in progress.

Good luck to all others still awaiting a response on their BOWP apps.

Hi, when I applied online, the system indicated I am eligible for bridging open work permit, then I just hit continue to apply and attached all the docs.

I am getting confused where I attach a letter...is this necessary?

Thanks
