Hi,

if your nomination has employment restrictions you can apply for a closed work permit before the EE and AOR. You must comply with the employer fee.

You can read the work permit section on https://www.welcomebc.ca/getmedia/cb7fb287-f5a9-4b50-99d5-a352c56c2a1a/BC-PNP-Skills-Immigration-EEBC-Post-Nomination-Guide.pdf.aspx

If your nomination doesn´t have employment restrictions, then you can apply for a Bridge Open Work Permit and in that case you will need the AOR.

I applied for an LMIA-exempt work permit on July 19 inland and while I was a Ph.D. student to be able to work as a post-doc. The processing time for work-permit applications is 8 weeks on the CIC website. Regarding my application, it is already taken 106 days (15 weeks), and still no news. Is it possible that they reject the application after such a long time? That would be really terrible.

Whatever you apply inland, they consider it as WP extension (verified from CIC). They just started working on mid July applications, so you will hear about it next week.

Thank you very much for your reply. I checked the processing time for WP Extention. It seems that they are working on applications received on June 25, 2019. Am I wrong?
