Hey everyone,

Maybe my mind has fried from my express entry application but now that I have recieved my AOR for my application I cant seem to find how exactly I apply for a BWOP permit. It says you can i apply online but bizarrely when i answer the questions I get entry to the IEC program?

I can find a list of requirements on lots of different pages but don't have any idea where to send application/ direct link to the application process.

Have I missed something really obvious!? :eek: I think i def need more sleep right now! Thanks for your help!

Make sure you satisfy 4 months rule. If your current work permit expires in more then 4 months you cannot apply online. Also scroll down :) It actually happened once to me, after questionnaire, I only saw IEC, below that was another thing.
