last day to apply for BOWP.

[Dhruman Dhameliya]

CRS 518, received ITA under recent healthcare draw with cut-off 476, PGWP+ SOWP expiring 11-feb-2026.
I will accumulate enough work experience in 7-feb-2026 hence I can submit my PR application only on or after 8-feb-2026 and apply for BOWP for both ( myself+ wife) as soon as I get my AOR.

Is it okay to apply for BOWP only couple days before our work permit expires?
Please help.

If you get AOR then yes.

Realistically you likely won’t get AOR before your WP expires and need a plan B.

Do you know how long does it take to get AOR? just approx. number?

Is PGWP extension a good idea? Can you please share if you have any better idea?
