Thank you for sharing. Seems like CIC has not updated the Application Processing Times page for a while now. It still says they are processing online work permits for people who submitted their application around July 20-25 2015.

This means they don't care about eligibility assessment.
They only care about eligibility assessment that is why they refused my BOWP stating that I dont meet the requirement, while at the time of submission and till the day they made their decision, the requirement was that I had received an AOR from CIC. They based their decision on the new rules set out on Dec 1 2015.

Guys, one of the worst days of my life!

My Extension for BOWP got rejected today.
I have applied for my PR in Jun 2014 under CEC.
I have received AOR in Aug 2014 based on which I have got a BOWP which expired in Sep 2015.
In Aug 2015, I have applied for Extension and today they have rejected it.

I have a decent job, I am renting a Condo, my Car and all my stuff and I have to leave Canada all of a sudden. Seriously ?

It stated

"As a foreign national in Canada you are not eligible to apply document of this type until you receive confirmation that your application for permanent residency is approved in principle."

I have got an acknowledgement via Email and I have obtained BOWP already using that.
The current application was just extension of the previos BOWP. I am not sure what they want.

Guys, Can you plz suggest If I have any other options to appeal or question this decision.

but this does not relate to any of the new rules (if that's what you are pointing to).

it says "PR is approved", like who will apply for BOWP if PR is approved.

Guys I just share my situation my BOWP was refused last December 3. I apply last Aug. 11 using AOR. The reason was notice of receipt of APR does not constitute Acknowledgement of Reciept because application was still prospective.. What makes me disappointed was they just refused my BOWP without opening my file. I didn't get any update about my application since AOR. Almost 4 months no update at all even medical passed. I can't view also my e-CAS. Very frustrating because we have no more status. We have a new baby and we have no more source of income. We don't have any back up plan coz we are very confident that AOR is enough.. Before my work permit expire my employer apply me for LMIA but he cancel the application when we apply the BOWP coz he is confident also that our application will approved. And now we are planning for next possible step if we apply for LMIA again.
