We just got BOWP in 89 days, valid for one year. We are three applicants. All got approved. Our kid got visitor record and me and spouse got open work permit.Okie.. I am just worried as my open work permit expires in mid of February, 2021 along with my husbands(on top of it my sons visitor record too). I kind of started getting hopeless with no end conditions!! I hoped of hearing anything from IRCC by end of Dec but might have to go ahead and submit for BOWP to be on the safer side. I am guessing it can be submitted only for the primary applicant as per the regulations or can be for all 3 in the applicants. I don't know anything anymore !!
You can apply your BOWP anytime before your current work permit end date.
