What is the Bridging Open Work Permit?
The Bridging Open Work Permit (BOWP) is an essential tool if you have already applied for permanent residence in Canada and wish to continue working while awaiting a decision. This permit offers job security and peace of mind, allowing you to remain in Canada legally without interruption to your employment.
The BOWP is an open work permit, which means 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 on the circumstances of your permanent residence application, including the status of your application and the type of application you have filed, whether it is Express Entry, PNP, Caregivers, Agri-Food Pilot, among others.
