I applied from within Germany (German) for a work permit +TRV (LMIA-exempt): postdoctoral position.
My application has not been getting any updates since 9 weeks (after biometrics).
I need to start working urgently, or the project will have to be stopped and eventually canceled because I am co-lead on the project.
It's a huge financial loss for the university because the funding will be withdrawn. Part of the project is developmental aid and environmental protection, so it's a huge loss for the two countries involved, too.
Can I enter and start working using the 120-day exemption and wait until my work permit is being finalized in the background and then do flagpoling? Or will entering Canada and getting a work permit exemption stop the processing of the previously submitted work permit application?
Can I enter Canada using the 120-day exemption and re-apply for a work permit a couple of days after entering the country?
