WHO HAS APPLIED FOR A BOWP ONLINE LATELY?

[naijabelle]

I admit, I am very technically challenged. I have made it to the online myCIC application so far and I just wanted to make sure I am doing things correctly.

Right now it appears the only documents they want are the IMM5710E form, Digital Photo, Travel Document and letter of explanation.

It just seems very....bare.

Also with the digital photo, do they want a photograph showing just my face? or do they want me to actually scan passport sized photo?

Can someone be kind enough to spend some time explaining this to me in very lay man's terms?

I recently applied online and got my BOWP approved yesterday. The checklist is correct. I scanned letter of explanation and AOR into one document and uploaded. For travel document-I scanned Passport and WP into one document and uploaded. Regarding digital photo, they have given the specifications on the site. You can get the photo taken from Black's or any other store and ask them a digital copy. upload the digital pic. Good luck.

Thank you, I was confused because at first I did the paper application and I did not recall seeing photo in part of the document checklist. I will have to attend Black's then. thank you

It is not mandatory but if you have something to explain you can attach one. My past 10 years experience wasn't fitting in the form so I made additional sheets and explained that in the letter. Below is the letter I sent:

----------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Sir,

I have submitted Application for Permanent Residence in Canada under Canadian Experience Class( CEC) and received an AOR (Acknowledgement of Receipt).

Please find the below details of my CEC application:

UCI: -- /Application Number : --

I request you to kindly consider this, as part of the documents required for processing my BOWP application.

Hello,

I am filling out my BOWP application online but having a bit of an issue.
After you uploaded the requested documents, how do you move to the next step? Only option I have is exit questionnaire.

I am supposed to be paying for the application and submitting it, but I can't seem to find the option to reach there.
Your advise is deeply appreciated.

I think it depends on what you have answered in the questionnaire. If you work in health sector , you may need to go for upfront medicals. Otherwise it is not required.

strange. After I uploaded all documents it went to payment option. May be log off and try again.
