What is the Bridging Open Work Permit?
The Bridging Open Work Permit (BOWP) is a fundamental tool if you have already submitted an application for permanent residence in Canada and wish to continue working while waiting for a decision. This permit offers you job continuity and peace of mind, allowing you to remain in Canada legally without interruptions to your employment.
The BOWP is an open work permit, meaning it is not tied to a specific employer.
Who can apply for the BOWP?
Eligibility for a Bridging Open Work Permit depends primarily on your personal circumstances, such as your status in the country, whether you are the principal applicant for permanent residence or a dependent, among others, and the circumstances of your permanent residence application, including the status of your application and the type of application you submitted, whether Express Entry, PNP, Caregivers, Agri-Food Pilot, among others.
