BOWP - March Applicants

[clark kent]

Not surprised with this update with the speed at which things are moving.

Since my application was filed on March 20 I am only expecting some update by next month.

Keep the ball rolling folks, any updates to report?

Looks like CIC stopped processing BOWP last week

 

[Selm]

I got this letter and the day after got refusal letters saying the BOWP applications for myself and my husband had been declined. We had paid 2x $155 application fees, plus 1 x $100 for the open work holder fee. I looked into it and in the event the application is refused, they will refund the open work holder fee but not the application / processing fee. Hope this doesn't turn out to be the case for you, but thought I'd mention it.... We requested reconsideration of the decision to refuse as it seems to be a mistake on CIC's part.

Hi Emma,

I have applied my BOWP on March 18th. But when i paid the amount, due to CIC system issue, I paid same like you. But noticed the same and had a call with customer care. they said, they will comeback to me to collect the amount as the issue belongs to CIC itself. But my file is not yet opened.

In your case, What did you do ? Could you please share the same with me? I also applied for me and my wife.

Thanks & Regards
Selm.

I also paid the same way you paid for BOWP and SOWP
They did not ask 100$ for my wife's OWP.
I assume they will ask me to pay when they will work on my file I think.

Hi Jayvyas,

May i know when did you apply BOWP? Did your file open or not yet ?

 

[jayvyas]

My file is open and I applied on 13 march 2015
That's nktour fault we want to pay anyways but it did not showed up online.
I think they will ask us to pay later as somebody from the form got the request to pay 100$ for his spouse.

Hi ,

I think yes, they will comeback via email to pay the rest of the amount. One of my friend applied on Mar 12th and he got approved on 15th May. seems after Mar 12, they put hold on the applications as your application(Mar 13) still in Open state.(Just a guess). And this week is done... hope they will start work on Mar 13 applications from next week.

Let's hope for the best.
