Bridging Open Work Permit
A bridging open work permit (BOWP) allows an individual to continue working while they wait for the outcome of their permanent residence application. It is a temporary work permit that bridges the gap between the expiration of an individual’s current work permit and the decision on their permanent residence application.
Who is eligible to apply for BOWP?
The Bridging Open Work Permit (BOWP) allows you to continue working while you wait for the outcome of your permanent residence application. To be eligible for a BOWP, you must currently reside in Canada (outside of Quebec) and have a valid or expired work permit that allows you to maintain your status as a worker. You must also be the principal applicant on your permanent residence application, have submitted a complete application for permanent residence and passed the completeness check, and have received an acknowledgement of receipt letter from the government. Keep in mind that you are only eligible to apply for a BOWP once you have submitted a complete application for permanent residence and passed the completeness check.
