Hi guys,
I need help choosing the correct answers to apply for an extension on BOWP. I applied for PR under Express Entry over a year ago now and it is still in progress due to Background Check. As my bridging work permit is about to expire, I need to apply for an extension of bridging work permit. I am also pregnant from a Canadian citizen and expecting a child in 3 months time (however I applied for PR through express entry and not through my partner). Could you guys help me choose the correct answers to this questionnaire as I seem to give incorrect answers (after spending countless of hours trying different variations).
