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

^ You don't need to address it to anyone in particular. As you've said, it's an online attachment so formalities like that don't really apply. I think I put "Attn: Visa processing officer" or words to that effect.

I'm sending my cec app tonight. My visa expires start of November. Would it be wiser to send a paper bowp? I don't know what to do right now because I want to be able to work past November. I feel like I'm running a risk if I wait until I get AOR and then apply online. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Hi. All depends when you expect your AOR. If soon, you can buy some time by applying for the BOWP by paper application. The processing time is currently about 60 days, so you can get your AOR before the CIC start processing your application. Don't apply for the BOWP without AOR online, because the processing time is very short. Some applicants got their decision in 5 days!

Can anybody clarify on how to pay fee for BOWP paper application?
Is it that I take the IMM 5401 form to a bank, pay the fee and then submit the receipt along with my paper application? Any other alternatives?

Thanks.

Payment options are explained in detail here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/fees/result.asp?lob=wp&canada=inside&cat=temp

The best way is to "Pay my fees online" with a credit card, and include the receipt from that with your application.

Hi, if you've meant explanation about why you are applying without the AOR you don't need to explain anything. Just fill up the forms and
submit those. If the AOR is issued they can see it in their system.

1) A work permit with same employer
2) An initial work permit or a work permit with a new employer

Hello,

I am ready to apply for BOWP (forms IMM5710E,5713E for self). My spouse is currently with visitor visa and child on study permit. What other forms do i need to include for them ?

Also, do I have to mandatorily apply for open work permit for spouse ? do I have an option of extending the visitor visa ? The reason is, my spouse does not have any work experience... so, wanted to check if there is any option other that open work permit for her...

What forms for the kid to extend the study permit ?

Regards,

Kumar.
