BOWP Tracker 2020

[Arun13]

Seriously. Yes, that’s right, I applied for PR and BOWP at the same time in March, right before my work permit expired so me and my spouse have been on implied status since then. There has been no communication at all on the BOWP (or on my spouse’s SOWP). Now I’m hoping that PR comes through first, but my eligibility has been stuck at review required since April. I did get a GU on Oct 7, but it’s always just a frustrating guessing game with IRCC.

Did your implied status affect your job in any way? Are the employers ok with this scenario?
I have similar situation coming up where my PGWP expires on Dec 2nd. I have submitted PR and applied for the BOWP.

You should get your approval before 27 October. Please don't forget to inform us once you do.

Update:
The status on my application changed to "We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements." just now.
Today is exactly 87 days after I applied (87 was the processing time estimate at the time I applied).
Fingers crossed it will be accepted soon.

Implied status won’t affect your job. My employer hasn’t a clue what my immigration status is. The rules say you can keep on working as normal until they approve your new work permit. You just can’t leave the country until they give you a decision. My case seems rare - I haven’t heard of many folks waiting 8 months +. You’ll likely receive your BOWP in under 3 months.
