I have applied for a permanent residence to CIC under the PNP category last July, and I applied for BOWP a couple of weeks ago as my work permit is set to expire on 20 June, 2015.

The decision has not been made on my BOWP application, but I am wondering if my application for BOWP was refused/rejected for some reasons two or three months before my original work permit expires, would my original work permit be still valid until its expiry date? Or would I be out of status with my original work permit?

Anyone knows about this?

even your BOWP gets rejected your original workpermit valid date remains till the date it has on it.

I think you applied early. I believe BOWP is for those whose work permit is expiring in 4 months. So if your work permit is expiring on June 20 and you applied couple weeks back, calculating the timeline you applied before 4 months. (This is just my thought).
But even if it does get rejected. your old work permit will still be valid

I applied for BOWP around early March which is within 4 months before the work permit expires. Anyway I appreciate you for answering my question! It is great to hear that my original work permit will be alive even after bowp is rejected.
 
My bowp application status is ON HOLD.. what's that mean? I'm worried
