Once you apply for your BOWP, you can keep working even after your work permit gets expired. It is called implied status.

Hi Guys,

Please update on your BOWP timeline. I applied before a month, no news yet. It was a paper application.

Thanks.

I received an email from cic today telling me my application had been updated.

When I logged in to my account I had no new messages, however when I checked the status of my application it was changed to closed, and below it said my application has been approved.

I was surprised because I applied only two months ago, on January 20th.

I am still waiting for the message to come in my inbox though.

Great. Two months is a good timeline. May be next month I should get mine.

You might get closed work permit or may be open work permit (if you have specified BOWP word in your coverletter). I dont see any chance of rejection.

As long as you selected open work permit you should be fine. My colleague also filled out all her current employer details in the application but still got an open work permit :)

I applied May 27 for the BOWP. I received a message from CIC yesterday saying that my application was approved and today I received a PDF letter explaining that the permit will be mailed to me and that I should receive it within the next six weeks :)

Usually you get WP by mail almost a week after online Approval.
