桥梁工签被拒的常见原因之一,是申请人递交的永久居留权申请材料不完整。移民申请的条件之一,是申请材料必须通过完整性检查,不完整的移民申请也会导致桥梁工签被拒。

One common reason that a BOWP is refused is if applicants submit an incomplete permanent residence application. As applications for permanent residence must be passed the completeness check as part of the eligibility requirement, incomplete applications may result in a BOWP refusal.

可否通过桥梁工签申请永久居民 Can I apply for PR on a bridging open work permit?

申请桥梁开放式工作许可的主要条件之一,是申请人已经递交了永久居留权申请。因此,申请人么有理由再次递交移民申请。

One of the main eligibility requirements of a BOWP is that an applicant has already applied for permanent residence (PR). As such, there would be no reason to apply for PR again.

移民申请审理期间工作许可到期会怎样 What happens if my work permit expires while my PR application is processing?

如果申请人的工作许可在移民申请审理期间到期,申请人将被视为无加拿大合法身份,需要申请恢复加拿大劳工身份。

桥梁工签审理期间可否合法工作 Can I work while waiting for a bridging open work permit?

外国公民需要在其当前所持有的工作许可到期前,提交桥梁工签的申请。如果当前所持有的工签在桥梁工签审理期间到期,申请人仍可继续保持合法身份在加拿大合法工作,直至桥梁工签得到批复。但是,如果桥梁工签被拒,申请人必须立刻停止在加拿大境内的任何工作。外国公民在未持有有效工作许可的情况下在加拿大工作,将会危及未来所有的移民申请。

A foreign national is required to submit a BOWP application before their current work permit expires. If their current work permit expires before they have received a decision regarding their BOWP application, they may continue to work in Canada under maintained status until a final decision has been issued regarding the BOWP application. However, if the BOWP application is denied, the foreign national must cease working in Canada immediately. If a foreign national works in Canada without a valid work permit, they will jeopardize all future applications for Canadian immigration.

在符合条件的情况下,申请人可以将封闭式工作许可转换成桥梁开放式工作许可。

It is possible to change your work permit from a closed permit to a bridging open work permit as long as you are eligible.

如果申请人的永久居留权申请被拒,在桥梁工签未被吊销的情况下,申请人仍可使用该桥梁开放式工签合法工作。
