BOWP

[azadehza]

I applied for bridging open work permit in mid August and today after 66 days from submit, I got an update on my application and status of background check changed to " We are processing your background check".

Anybody does have the same experience?

Thanks,

No. You have to select “work permit extension”

You need to select "Visiting, studying, working temporarily", then "Work Permit Extension (new employer)".
