BOWP Tracker 2020
- Thread starter kate.tingchunlin
- Start date
Your original work permit expiry date is almost the same as mine, yet my bowp processing time is almost twice as long (already). My PR AOR is early February - going through CEC. Tbh I think it is random, and you give them too much credit thinking that it depends on stream/ application AOR. But the process is not transparent at all, so who really knows...
Just got my BOWP approved yesterday
AOR 02/12/20
APPLIED BOWP 04/28/20
BIOMETRICS 09/25/20
FINAL DECISION 09/30/20
AOR 02/12/20
APPLIED BOWP 04/28/20
BIOMETRICS 09/25/20
FINAL DECISION 09/30/20

If I travel out of the country (without a valid visa to return) while the BOWP application is in progress, would IRCC still process the application or outright refuse it because I am no longer inside Canada?

My WP expires in 4 months and I am about to apply for BOWP. Should I wait until I get called to book a biometric appointment for my PR application before I apply.
There is a question that asks if you have done biometrics in the last ten years and I haven't, but expecting a call in the next few weeks for my PR application. If I select "NO" and do my biometrics for my PR application, will it automatically be updated for by BOWP application as well?

Temporary working visa's (including BOWP as far as I understand) are exempt from having to give biometrics.
Refer to "COVID-19: Changes to biometrics requirements" in link for reference: https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/where-to-give-biometrics.asp
Roughly 5-6 months processing, and you can apply within 4 months of your current work permit expiry at the earliest. I'm exhausted by the process. I have a job offer that will wait for me until the end of the year - I will miss out if I don't get my status sorted out.
