[omph]

So you and your spouse applied at the same time?

yes, he applied for our application together at the same time, Jan.29. His BOWP approved last Apr5

Yes apply for open work permit and chose new employer and no work offer, I think you will need to fill out a questionnaire first. All the best.

Thank you so much. We are very confused with all the process. So we just simply apply for open work permit with AOR.
Thank you

No work offer? Hmmmm
does she need to mention that she is going to continue work with same employer in the cover letter?

 

[Amisnic]

No need to - BOWP is an open work permit so she can work for whoever she choses to work for and wherever

No work offer? Hmmmm
does she need to mention that she is going to continue work with same employer in the cover letter?

you have to do the eligibility process and for the how long you are planning to stay in Canada answer temporarily more than 6 months this way it will take you to the permits not to the express entry

Your answer really helped me but I do not have LMIA as I dnt need one because I am applying for BOWP and have AOR.

Do I need or not? I am confused?

Thank you
