Tips for a successful BOWP application

[didee]

Hi,
I am applying for my BOWP and in the document checklist there is a check box for "Offer of employment to a Foreign National Exempt from LMIA - IMM 5802".
Would I require this form from my employer?

I have a full time job, and my work permit is expiring in June. I have a positive AOR for my PR application. Kindly help.

Hey I too paid only $410. But now if you see online they are asking for 2 open work permit holder fee. Since we guys did not pay will this lead to rejection of our wifes work permit?

Yes you need to send photos (not sure how many photos though) with paper application.

i applied for BOWP+SOWP online. It cost me (255 *2) +100 = $410 . They didnt ask for $100 twice.

It wasnt our fault. We had to pay what the system tells us. We couldnt have paid more or less even if we wanted to.
I dont think they will reject. They might send a letter to pay the additional $100 if needed.
Also who knows.. maybe at that time it was $100 per online transaction..then they might have later changed to $100 per wp appln.

Its a little buggy. You need to keep trying. I was getting a server error while trying to upload. But finally uploaded the 3rd time.

hey rohangk,

Are you sure that we have to send pictures with paper application?, because the checklist dose not ask for it. I even confirmed it with the CIC agent, and she said I dont need any pictures.

You're correct that you don't. I know because I didn't include any

If the paper appln checklist doesnt ask, dont provide. I did online, it required a photo.

For the online BOWP application. After uploading,paying and submitting the application we get the submit confirmation with payment receipt.
At the bottom of the receipt it says,

"Please print two copies of this receipt, send one to Citizenship and Immigration Canada and keep one
for your records. Please also note that the payer's name on this receipt does not have to be the same
as the one on the application form."

Is this required to be done for online applications? or is it for paper applicants only.

Hi guys, did you received an email that there has been update on your application the day it was approved or the day before?

Thank you!
