Tips for a successful BOWP application

[cupidsbutler]

There is an express TRV option which takes maximum of 2 weeks.

Thanks for the quick response ritz0106! Do you have the link to the express option? Tried to look for it, no luck.

Go through the questionnaire and submit online. Once you submit online your application will be approved in a couple of days. Followed by which you can send your Passport.

Firgured it out, thanks.

So the only things I need to upload are:
- IMM5710
- Passport or travel document (copy)
- Digital photo

Plus any supporting documents (AOR confirmation etc.)

Is this correct?

Try Call Centre telephone number: 1-888-242‑2100 for any queries, I believe they work 8-4.

I went back and changed a few answers I wasn't sure about initially and ended up with it saying I would be eligible for an Open Work Permit at the end. Took a while but I got there in the end.

I'm a little confused with what to send for my application.
It's an open work permit but the IMM 5556 asks for an LMO, job offer, I have all these documents, but it was used for the application of my current WP that is about to expire.
Also, I haven't seen where they ask for photos or other items mentioned in this forum.
Can someone who has received the BOWP please tell me what have you sent in order to get it?
Thanks a lot!!!

A couple of points:

- IMM 5556 is used for all kinds of work permit applications and extensions from within Canada, so some of the questions do not apply to you. As you've correctly noted, an open work permit does not require a job offer or LMO.

- Only the online application requires photos; the checklist for the postal application does not.

Hello Everyone,

Do I need to scan IMM5710E so I can attach my signature? Please advise.

If you apply online, you don't have to sign the document. Your application will be signed digitally at the
end of the application process by typing in your name in a specific text field.

Thanks a lot Toby. I will submit my application online today.

I have my application ready to go and as I don't have experience at applying without the help of an Immigration Consultant, could someone help me check if what I have is ok???

- Letter of explanation
- AOR
- IMM 5556
- IMM 5710
for EMPLOYMENT I included my activity in the last 10 years, including the years I was studying, is it correct?
- online receipt
- Photocopy of passport
- Is the current immigration document my current WP?
- Should I check any item under RESTORATION OF TEMPORARY RESIDENT STATUS?
visa and WP expiring in June 20134, applied for CEC in December 2013.

Any help is appreciated!
Thanks a lot!!!!
