Bridging open work permit , help needed

[niftyned]

Hi guys , looking for some help please.
Entered Canada initially on IEC .
Before visa expired I applied by paper to extend to obtain implied status .

The day I sent the application I was invited to apply for BCPNP which I now have applied for.

Now I’ve obtained an AOR I’m hoping to link it to my paper application to obtain a bridging open work permit.

Can I do this online or do I have to post it to the office where I sent my application?

Any help or info would be appreciated. Thanks. Sorry for wrong threading

I expect you already know you cannot extend an IEC visa. If you AOR is dated after your visa extension application date trying to link it may be risky. If your IEC is still valid you could consider withdrawing your extension application and reapplying for a BOWP.

Just to be clear, you submitted an application even though you were not eligible (didn't have an LMIA or meet other eligibility criteria)? If that is the case, according to the rules, your application should be rejected as incomplete, and you will be deemed out of status from the date your original permit expired (no implied status).

You are not eligible for a BOWP if your IEC permit has already expired.
