I did submit letter of explanation and reference letter from my employer last week.
I have another question, I have to travel in the month of November to India. Is it advisable?

Also what is the process after receiving mail.

Yeah you can travel... if you get the PPR email, you can check by when you need submit your passport at the max... if the date falls beyond your return from India.. you can request(by using the same CSE) to extend the passport submission date, or alternately you can request them to let you submit the passport in India for visa stamping...

Since you have submitted the LoR last week, can you request for GCMS notes by early next week...

You get an email letting you know it has been attached to your file. Probably around 10 days or so.

My work permit is expiring on 11 Jan 2019 and I am still waiting for my PR.
AOR was 13 Feb 2018.

I want to apply BOWP, before doing so I have a quick question that simply renewing my WP is the route or BOWP. A BOWP is valid for how long?

Please suggest!!

Is your current work permit a closed permit with your employers name on it or is it an open work permit? Is it a post grad work permit ? If it’s is, then you will need a BOWP. This would usually be for around a year. It is just to let you work till they make a decision on your application. I think the duration might also depend on the duration of your current work permit but I’m not too sure about that.
