okay, so I contacted call center again and asked for the eligibility criteria for BOWP.

below is the email response I received and this is the second email I got about eligibility criteria :

Thank you for contacting Citizenship and Immigration Canada. I am pleased to follow up on your request:

Bridging open work permit - Certain federal economic class applicants

You can apply for an open work permit if you:

Have applied for permanent residence (PR) in Canada under one of the admissible categories of the economic class and are the principal applicant,
Have received a positive eligibility assessment on your PR application or, if applicable, the Acknowledgment of Receipt from the processing office,
Are currently in Canada, and
Already have a valid work permit that is due to expire within 4 months.
For information on the admissible categories, please visit our website.

To apply for an open work permit, you must send an Application to Change Conditions or Extend Your Stay as a Worker to the Case Processing Centre in Vegreville, Alberta.

You must do this before your work permit expires. You keep your current status under the same conditions, until a decision is made (implied status).

The application is available on our website.

Visit our website to see how long it may take to process your application.

At this point, I am certain that AOR is sufficient for pre-2015 applicants to be eligible for BOWP. I will just wait for a response on my application for BOWP now.

BOWP apps are processed in Vegreville CPC. In case a paper app needs to be filed, it should be addressed to this CPC office, you can find it online as well.

But you can always apply online. I am sure it is still going to be processed at Alberta CPC.
