Could anyone explain, please, what is "have no employment restrictions as a condition of your nomination"?
I have the BC PNP Confirmation of Nomination letter. In the letter I have the filled up the EMPLOYER field - the name of the company, but in the field RESTRICTIONS ON EMPLOYMENT I have "NO".

Also I have the Conditions of Nomination letter:

Spoiler: Conditions of Nomination letter

Conditions of Nomination

You must continue to meet the conditions under which you were nominated, which are set
out in this document. It is a condition of your nomination that you are not at any time:
 prohibited from entering Canada;
 under a removal order in or outside of Canada; or
 working in Canada for any employer without authorization.
If you are in Canada, you must:
 have legal status in Canada; or if status has expired, be able to demonstrate that an
application for restoration of status was submitted within the 90-day eligibility
period.
If you do not have a work permit that enables you to work for your supporting employer in
B.C., you must demonstrate genuine efforts to apply for a valid work permit and commence
employment with your supporting employer in B.C.
If you have a work permit and a supporting B.C. employer, you must:
 have a valid work permit that enables you to work for the supporting employer listed
on the Confirmation of Nomination (CON);
 maintain full-time employment with the supporting employer;
 receive a wage that is equal to or greater than the wage listed in your BC PNP
application;
 work in the occupation that is listed on your BC PNP application; and
 meet minimum income requirements
If you were nominated under one of the International Post-Graduate categories, you must
continue to demonstrate an ability and intent to permanently reside and economically
establish in B.C. Failure to demonstrate that you are residing in B.C. following your
nomination may result in a withdrawal of your nomination.
You must inform the BC PNP by sending an email to PNPPostNom@gov.bc.ca if any of the
following occurs:
 change of employer, job title, work location, or job duties;
 decrease in wage or decrease in regular work hours below 30 hours per week;
 loss of employment;
 change in marital status or number of dependants;
 change in immigration status; or
 refusal of work permit.
You must provide any information requested by the BC PNP to verify that conditions of
nomination continue to be met. Failure to abide by the conditions of nomination, including
failure to provide requested information, may result in a withdrawal of your nomination.
If the BC PNP determines that you provided false or misleading information to the BC PNP,
before or after nomination, your nomination may be withdrawn.

Question: Do I have employment restrictions?

Hi

I am also a prospective BOWP applicant.
Can you please tell if your pnp certificate mentions Job title and NOC code ?

Thanks.

Hello. From what I read in the forum, and searched online, it can be different depending of the province and pnp stream.
In my case, MPNP (Manitoba), it mentions Employer name and Noc (but not Job Title). It also has 'no employment restrictions'.

According with the document I posted as an answer (in a previous question of this thread), calling ircc, and also talking with some immigration consultant it shouldn't be an issue to apply for Bowp. I'm still waiting, applied on June 21.

In my case (to see how it can be different):

Thanks for your time and reply. I appreciate. In future, good luck with your application.

Is it true that my current employer has to pay for employer compliance fee for my BOWP?

No

Is it true that my current employer has to pay for employer compliance fee for my BOWP?

if you are applying for bridging open work permit your employer don’t have to pay any fees . It’s only if you are applying for lmia or Lmia excempt work permit.

Hi

Did you get any update on your BOWP application?

Thanks in advance

Hi everyone

Do we really need to attach an explanation letter saying why we are applying for BOWP? Or depends on the situation? I thought the reason for the application is pretty straight forward... at least in my case, coming from an expiring PGWP permit, I only attached my AOR document.

I apologize if this question was already raised.

Hi. I still didn't get any update regarding Bowp. I have the impression that they will complete the PR application first (from reading the forum for people with similar profile regarding the PR application).

Hello,
Can someone confirm if this detailed guide applies also for FSW -inland ?
Is the national identity card number mandatory (IM5710) or is the passport alone enough?

Thank you!

Hey guys!

I'm about to apply for a BOWP, SOWP and visitor records extension for 2 kids. I'm the primary applicant for our PR through CEC, currently in Canada and received our AOR recently. Our current permits expire 2021/05/05.

I'm doing one application for us all, and my checklist looks like this:

• For me: IMM5710, IMM5707, Passport, IMM5713, Marriage certificate, Proof of upfront medical, Photo.
• For my wife: IMM5710, Passport, Proof of upfront medical.
• For each of my kids: IMM5708, IMM5707, Passports, Proof of upfront medical.

Is there anything else that I should add? Like our current permits for example?
Is it normal that the IMM5707 form is not needed for my spouse?
Should I add an explanation letter (with AOR included) for each of us or just one in my field is enough?

I'm just trying to confirm that I have answered correctly to all the questions before getting to my documents checklist. I was expecting they would ask for more documents.

If anyone has done the same recently, It would be great to compare

Hi Guys,

I would appreciate your help on the below.

I have applied for PR under CEC along with my 2 dependents (Wife and Son). At the moment we all are in Canada and want to apply for BOWP, however I got little worried after reading on the IRCC website that the dependents of APR are not eligible for applying BOWP.

I - Have a closed work permit (Will expire in 7 months)
Wife - Has a open work permit (Will expire in 7 months)
Son - Has a visitor record (Will expire in 7 months)

I understand that I can apply for BOWP but what should I do for my dependents if they are not eligible for BOWP ? Is there a way I can include them while applying for BOWP for myself?
