Hi Folks,
Grateful for some advice. My situation is as follows:
CEC applic received at Sydney 4 Sept 2013
AOR expected approx 6 Nov 2013
WP expires 5 Nov 2013
Normally I would just apply for a BOWP before expiry of WP on 5 Nov and send AOR along once received.
However, my problem is this: I temporarily left Canada on 4 Sept 2013 and will return on 1 Nov 2013. My intention is to apply for a BOWP immediately after re-entering Canada. Once my WP expires on 5 Nov, I would work on implied status until BOWP is granted (AOR should only be about a week behind BOWP applic & can hopefully be sent afterwards).
I am obviously extremely concerned that I will be refused entry on 1 Nov 2013 on my current WP as it will only have 5 days validity left.
Was just wondering if anyone knows of anything I can do to help myself or will it all just depend on the Officer on the day?
Also, if I could only come back in on a visitor record or something like that, could I then restore my status as a worker & apply for a BOWP?
I would appreciate any advice from you guys. I am really hoping not to be sent home while my applic is in process.
Thanks!
