Congrats!! I applied for my BOWP on July 25th so hopefully i'll hear back soon too. Weird that you didn't get an email letting you know it was approved. Do you have a confirmation letter or something in your mycic portal with confirmation of your bowp?
Thanks! You should get yours very soon! No I did not receive any letters in my account or email. It just says approved and the document number and expiry date of the new permit

Hi All,

I am applying for BOWP. When filling forms, it asks for 10 years of employment history but only has 3 rows to enter data. How can I add extra rows and enter my remaining work history as I am applying online?

Please help. Thanks!

If you have requested for a BOWP, what is the status of your WP?

to apply for a BOPW you have to meet the following:

  • live in Canada (Quebec not included)
  • have a valid work permit that expires in 4 months or less
  • be the principal applicant on your permanent residence application
  • have submitted a complete application for permanent residence and passed the completeness check
  • have your acknowledgement of receipt letter
    • we send this letter to your account after we get your permanent residence application


Which would mean that you have a WP, which is about to expire.
