i am not sure if you are allowed to appply bowp without any AOR and pr application so expect that to be rejected as incomplete once theyve got it...

now on your second question i am not sure if you have to wait for the rejection or not because we really dont know if you are in implied status right now...because what if not and your 90 days is already running...so my advise is to call them and ask if your 90 days starts when your work permit expired or after you get the rejection... obviously your just buying time and i understand that but you need to be certain about this and hope you find a new lmia...good luck?..

You're now on implied status, but once you'll have the refusal of you're application then you'll be out of status of which you have 90 days to restore that. Hopefully by then you'll have proper paperwork. Good luck.

It is 90 days starting from the date of your BOWP refusal letter.

However, in your case, you applied BOWP without providing AOR, there is a slight chance your application will get a rejection due to incomplete, instead of a refusal. In that case, the 90 days start from the date of expiry on your previous valid permit. If you didn't submit AOR for your BOWP, I suggest you apply for restoration within 90 days of expiry without considering your implied status, otherwise by the time you know your BOWP is incomplete and rejected, it will be too late for a restoration.

Hi,

Can you please share more details about your case?
1. When you applied for paper-based BOWP?
2. Did you get approval or rejection for it and when?
3. When you applied for your restoration status?

I am in the same situation and looking for a solution. Please help me by providing details.

Thank you!
