Bridging Open Work Permit (BOWP)
Keep working without interruption while IRCC processes your permanent residence application.
The BOWP bridges the gap between a work permit expiry and a final PR decision. It allows foreign nationals in Canada with a pending PR application to continue working for any employer without restriction. Applying at exactly the right time is critical — too early or too late can cause complications.
- Who This Is For: Work permit holders whose permit is expiring who have a pending in-Canada PR application with a Stage 2 IRCC Acknowledgement of Receipt.
Key Requirements
Key Benefits
- Work for any employer in Canada while awaiting the PR decision.
- Prevents any gap in Canadian work experience counting toward CEC.
How Arik Immigration Consultant Helps You
- Monitor permit expiry and PR application stage simultaneously.
- File the BOWP at the optimal time.
- Advise on maintaining implied status while the BOWP processes.
