I applied for PR through OPNP. I have PGWP that will expire soon, but I am not employed right now. I live in Canada. Now, I am applying for a BOWP. When I go through the online questionnaire, at the end it says that I can apply for the OWP and TRV. Here are my questions:

1. Do I need to apply for TRV?
2. One of the questions in form IMM 5710 (WP) is this:

I am applying for one or more of these:
1. A work permit with the same employer
2. An initial work permit or a work permit with a new employer
3. Restoration of your status as a worker
4. Temporary resident visa


I am not sure which one of these applies to me since I don't have an employer right now, but I do have a soon to expire OWP.

3. Another question in that same form says:

Give details of your employment ...

and the current occupation field and employer is mandatory; but, I am applying for an OWP, this doesn't make sense to me, and I don't have a current employer anyway. What should I write here?

Thanks for reading my questions; any help is greatly appreciated.

Another issue:

Do we need to upload the PNP Nomination letter in the MyCIC application?
 
Hi marioepsilon,

Did you get an answer to your question? Though I am not in this situation but this can arise with any applicant applying for PNP.
So just wanted to know if you could share it with others.

Hi, Sorry for my late reply; I wasn't logged in for a long time.
Anyway, I didn't get the answer to my question, so I just submitted my application without uploading the PNP letter. I hope they don't reject my OWP for this reason. I also checked options 2. and 4. and uploaded the TRV form which I guess isn't necessary.
I worry about the PNP letter though that I didn't upload.
 
Hi guys ,

My post graduate work permit will expire in Aug. I have been nominated and i have done my medicals, when can i apply for Bridge open work permit application without employer?

Thanks for your reply.
By AOR you mean the email that we receive with medicals form? I should have uploaded that email? Anyway, I didn't upload it, I just uploaded the e-medical information sheet that I received from the doctor after completing the exam. That's why I worry; I hope they ask me to add additional documents before rejecting my application. :( Oh, well, this MyCIC applications are so confusing, I never know what documents they exactly need.

No, there was no question regarding the application number. I uploaded the e-medical sheet which only has the IME #.
