What is Bridging Open Work Permit?
A Bridging Open Work Permit (BOWP) allows foreign nationals awaiting their permanent residence application results to continue working in Canada. This permit grants job flexibility, enabling individuals to change employers without reapplying for work authorization. BOWP ensures uninterrupted employment while applicants complete the final stages of their immigration process.
Individuals who have submitted a permanent residence application under an economic immigration program, such as Express Entry, may qualify for a BOWP if they meet eligibility requirements.
Applicants who have received "approval-in-principle" status from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) are eligible to apply for a BOWP, pending background checks or additional requirements.
Those currently residing in Canada with valid temporary resident status are eligible to apply for a BOWP, allowing them to remain employed while awaiting their permanent residency decision.
Applicants must meet provincial or territorial work requirements where they reside or intend to work, ensuring compliance with all Canadian laws.
Only individuals who meet Canadian admissibility criteria, including legal background checks and health requirements, qualify for the BOWP.
Eligibility extends to those who have applied for permanent residence under specific economic programs, ensuring their skills align with Canadian economic priorities.
