Bridging Open Work Permit (BOWP) under express entry - connect here

But what about Spouse? what can be the procedure?

When you start filling application. It will ask to add an additional application for Spouse.

Hi All, I am in bit confusing position now. I have applied PR on 16th Jan however due to missing document my file got rejected. Right now I am on student visa and it is expiring in second week of July. I am unable to pay fees for my second sem i.e starting from May. College told me I cannot any letter to extend my visa as i have not paid fees which is $5000. I am hoping i will put my file in next draw as soon as i will get ITA.I have OINP and my score is 1044. My question is : Can i apply for bridging work permit? even if i am on student visa which will expire in 2 months. Can I work 20 hours? Or can I apply for work permit on OINP base? Please advice me guys. Thanks.

FOR BOWP you need to have valid work permit...they won't issue for student permit...

You can apply with AOR and once r10 completeness check gets completed..then they will approve BOWP..untill that they will put on hold..

 

[Mosh404]

what does r10 mean. is it eligibility confirmed

hey guys, do I need to attach the receipt of my work permit application online when submitting? I only attached my AOR and current work permit on the LOE section

When should I apply for BOWP? I applied for PR in November. Going to complete six months end of this month. My current work permit expires in July. Should I wait for PPR or apply for BOWP. When I called CIC, they said everything is done on my file.

Guys,

I am applying bridging open work permit.

I downloaded the form that need to filled.

There is a question in the form I am confused about.

i,e I am applying for one of the following

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 thought it was option 3. but if I select that I am getting error while uploading the form.

Any thoughts ?

If you have a job offer/working go with option 1 or option 2 ........option 3 is for if you wp is already expired and option 4 is for the visa in passport once you have a new work permit

Guys, I have a question.

it might be silly but I am not working currently and my PGWP is expiring this month. Can I still bridge my work permit (BOWP) without any job? and if not, what other option do you suggest to keep my status valid?

Thanks
