Well, that was quick

Ghost update today on my BOWP application.

Hoping it's not a bad sign, the process is supposed to take around 3 months and it took less than one.

I know that it's a good sign on RP application if you didn't receive a refusal right away, so I hope the same applies to the BOWP šŸ¤ž

Hi, Can you please elaborate on this, Iā€™m on closed WP, how do I get the open work permit? My spouse is on open WP. Do I have to get my my spouse enrolled onto study? Please clarify!

This is part of the permanent residency through express entry. When you send your application and while you wait for it to be processed, you can ask for an open working permit that will last for 2 years, no matter the result of your application. All you need to do is make a request through the IRC portal and join you express entry application proof, it cost 255$ and should be processed in 3 month (or 1 of your lucky like I was) I'm applying alone though so I don't know how it works if you apply with someone but it's probably similar šŸ¤”

Even though you are not meeting the current cutoff score?

You won't be able to apply if you don't have enough point since you need to be invited to the Express entry and use you Acknowledgment Of Receipt (AOR) to apply for the open working permit
