I know this has been discussed but cannot find the post. When applying for bowp online do I say we are workers wanting to stay temporary - more than six months? Is there anybody who has applied for bowp online?
Our immigration consultant applied for our BOWP one day after submitting PR application. I am not sure how it works with AOR right now but she applied for us as we applied for PR on April 29 and our work permit was just about to expire (May 5th). We are on implied status right now, my understanding is that once you apply for PR, you can apply for BOWP once your current WP is close to expiration date.

Thanks for the update ..

So if Im right you would have send the paper based application and you missed 100 CAD -- Open WP Holder Fee isn't?

That's good to know jaffa... atleast they are requesting

Congrats...Since the WPs will have the 3D hologram, it has to be printed on manually. Did you use the AoR from EE to get this BoWP? Or did you use other AOR?

An update: I got a request for Schedule A, Background/Declaration form today. I have a question to those who received the same request earlier. Does the name in the request mean they only require the form from the mentioned person? I want to be sure it is my Schedule A they are requesting, not my spouse's.
