Bridging Open Work Permit (BOWP) with spouse

Hi guys,

I am currently on a Closed work permit and have recently received AOR under CEC EE.

My work permit expires in Jan 2023 and my company will help me file for WP extension but I cannot submit an application for my souse OWP’s extension as its dependent on my extension approval. Looking at the current processing time, it takes around 160 days for WP extension.

Rather, I am thinking to apply for Bridging Open Work Permit (BOWP) along with my spouse in a single application. Is this something I should be able to do it right?\

Any suggestions/recommendations or things to take care?

Best,
Chintan
