Hello Everyone ,

I am Jan AOR and my Visa and WP is expiring on June 28th next month. I understand I need to apply for BOWP and I have few questions in regards to that which are following -
- While I fill up the form it doesn't ask for my PR file number or anything. How will they know that my file is already in processing.
- There is question about what kind of work permit are you applying for open or with your employer, which one I should check off?
- They are asking the time limit of my WP I want them to issue me what number should I put in expiry date .

Thanks

1.) Your AOR document proves that you applied for EE.
2.) Open Work Permit
3.) One year from the date of applying.

Good luck.

Yes. If there is an option for additional docs you can do that or upload along with one of your required docs. No harm.

The AOR should be uploaded in the 'Letter of Explanation' section.

Hello There,
Please help me out. I have a question regarding the BOWP checklist document.
What does it mean by "Photocopy of your current immigration document, if you have one?" I am on a Open Work Permit, i.e. worker status? is that what they mean or is it something else? if something else, what is it. I am really confused, please help.

Select 'an initial WP or WP with new employer' (provided your WP has not expired and is still valid).

If your WP has expired then you need to select both options.
