Hello Everyone,
I have CRS 530 score and my PGWP is expiring on March 21, 2024. I'm not sure whether I will get an ITA before my PGWP expiry. I'm trying to find more information to continue working even after the PGWP expiry. I know there are some options as below:
1. Apply for a work permit extension under public policy. I know it will be rejected but it can buy me some time for getting an ITA. Did someone apply for a work permit extension under public policy recently and how long did IRCC take to reject the application?
2. Apply for a Bridging Open Work Permit (BOWP) without AOR. I'm wondering whether can I apply for BOWP with a Letter of Explanation (LOE) instead of AOR. I'm not sure whether it works or not. Did someone apply BOWP with LOE and later submitted AOR using webform, received a rejection or approval recently? How long did IRCC take to process the BOWP application?
3. Another option would be applying for a visitor record. I know it is a safest option but I doesn't allow me to work.
Unfortunately, my employer can't give LMIA so I'm looking out at the above options. Can anyone please provide their suggestions based on any recent experiences?
