Log into your account and create an application from there if you want to apply online.
I want to apply for the BOWP. It seems that I am eligible.

When I am doing this online and want to check my eligibility, it only says that I can apply for express entry it does not show anything about that I can apply for the BOWP.

Is there any specific responses that I should choose in the online eligibility questionnaires? it asked me questions like how long you want to move here? what you want to do? ....

I tried different answers but each time it only leads me to express entry application.

I really appreciate if someone helps me out.

Thanks

Choose you are a temporary worker, you want to stay TEMPORARILY in Canada for more than 6 months and you have received approval in principle for your PR application.
It should give you an option for open work permit

  • Temporarily - More than 6 months
  • Yes [Have you been approved in principle]
  • Yes [Have you applied for PR]
Should lead you to the right application. IDK why they had to make it so complicated.

Thanks a lot. I got the option for Open Work Permit. But it does not say Bridging Open work permit. Should it matter?

Exactly this. There should be a route for applicants depending on their situation :)

I was uploading my documents and it looks like they only have option for passport and digital photo to upload. but as far as i know BOWP requires the AINP nomination letter and the Acknowledgement letter with the application number. Probably i am not in the right place.

I'm an idiot. I submitted my bowp a few days ago and totally forgot to submit a nomination letter to "Letter of Explanation". Any ideas what to do now?
