Thanks

Does one of the following apply to you?
I am subject of a removal order that is unenforceable
I applied for a study or work permit before entering Canada which was approved, but not issued at a port of entry; or
I applied for permanent residence to an office in-Canada and was determined to be eligible for permanent resident status (first stage approval).

Please advice do I have to select yes or no, as I got AOR

I received my bowp today..... and I have no AOR which I am surprised about. I am a September applicant and my bank draft was cashed. I think maybe they put something on the system indicating a positive approval without the AOR's being issued because of the delays at the moment. I am so elated. For others who are in the same boat with no AOR because of delays would most likely be issued a work permit too!! Best of luck to everyone else!!

Wow you are lucky! I'm is the same situation, I applied for CEC in September and no AOR yet, my BOPW application was rejected this week... Actually, are you sure you received the OWP because you've applied for CEC? Because looking at your other posts, you have a spouse who is a Canadia citizen which means you migh be eligible for OWP anyways...

I'm so sorry to hear that :(
When in September did you apply?
My application was received on Sep 11th, bank draft cashed on Nov 27th and I sent my paper BOWP application and received on Oct 28th..
I dunno if timelines have something to do with it as well?

hi Onixe,

can you say when you applied for BOWP, and whether it was a paper app or online (and if paper, did you send it to "new employer" or "old employer" office?)

thanks!!

I applied for CEC so I can get a BOWP.
I did apply for family sponsorship but I am unable to get a OWP this way because I applied outland. Hope that clarifies..
