It seems like they are not prioritising work permit applications. I applied on September 20th 2022 and till now nothing has changed only biometrics were updated.

Hmm they would still request for medicals. You can't avoid it. Till then, yoir profile will keep saying "no need for medicals "

I have started looking for other opportunities as well coz I can't rely on these people. How does it take 7 months to get an answer yet on their website the processing time is 9 weeks. Even the biometrics which I submitted on 23rd September 2022 is still showing in progress
