The Bridging Open Work Permit (BOWP) is an immigration instrument provided by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) that enables certain individuals who are currently in Canada and in the process of applying for permanent residence to continue working while their application is being processed.

​

Here's a summary of what a BOWP typically entails:

​

• Function: It allows the holder to work for any employer in Canada while their permanent residency application is pending. This helps to avoid gaps in employment authorization as the worker transitions from temporary to permanent status.

• Eligibility: To qualify for a BOWP, applicants usually need to have submitted an application for permanent residence under specific economic classes such as the Federal Skilled Worker Program, Canadian Experience Class, Federal Skilled Trades Program, or a Provincial Nominee Program.

• Validity: The validity of a BOWP aligns closely with the processing time for the permanent residency application. It typically extends until a decision is made on the PR application.

• Application: Filing for a BOWP requires an in-Canada application and the applicant must have valid status on a work permit that is due to expire within four months.

• Restrictions: While a BOWP significantly offers open work rights, meaning the holder can work for any employer, there might be occupational restrictions based on the applicant’s situation or provincial guidelines.

• Renewal: It may be renewable if the PR application process extends beyond the validity of the permit; however, this is dependent on specific circumstances and IRCC policy.
