I have a doubt as below, seniors pls advice -

I got my AOR for CEC application this week.
My current Close work permit expires feb 1st week.

I am applying for BOWP, but I left job with my previous employer last month.

I believe I am eligible for BOWP as I have a work permit expiring in less than 4 months and have AOR.

Please suggest what shall I put in employment section of IMM5710E, where it asks for details of employment for last 10 years, the very first row ask for Current activity occupation, shall I mark it as unemployed for last 1 month as I have left my current Job, and will it have any effect on my BOWP application.

Please, provide me your views..

Thanks, but what shall I mention in this first row?, mark it as unemployed, or just fill it till the time I was employed?

But the 1st row ask for current activity/occupation, if I fill till I am employed, I need to put a pervious date in to Date of employment when I left that job, and thus that will not be current activity… right?

You can write "unemployed" or N/A. I wrote "unemployed" at the time I applied for BOWP and received it. The BOWP rules does not require you to be employed at the time of application.
