Just seen now that CIC keeps accumulating delay on processing the applications.

As of 6th March the processing time is 53 days and they were working Jan 11 applications!

I gues I still have to wait for getting my permit.

May be because of your AOR date

In what sense would the AOR date affect it?
Did you had AOR when you applied?

@ Kerr.

I received bowp approval today. However the letter is dated 9 March but been e mailed only today.

Weird !
Hi Kerr,

Congrats for the BOWP, I guess the stress is partially released now :)
May I ask some details about the receivment? Is the BOWP coming in priority mail? Do you have to sign something when receiving it? Or canadapost just simple dropping it off in the mailbox regardless the recepiant is at home or not? I'm only curious because I also applied on paper but haven't received anything yet, however I'm planning to travel to Europe soon and might not be able to receive it in person.

Thank you,

Congrats for you too Kota and thanks for the info. Hopefully I will also get it soon but the 103 days processing time is quite painful.. :)

I've been informed by two different CIC call centre people that you cannot apply for BOWP online. Does anyone know if this is total BS as I understand some people have applied online and have gotten their work permit.
