Work permit (from outside Canada)

[KrishnaGulati]

I applied online for LMIA exempt closed temporary work permit (from outside Canada - India) on May 28, 2023 and didn't get Biometrics Collection Letter yet (as of June 1). Can someone please share their timeline for recent Work permit (from outside Canada) application?

Reposting my reply. It has been less than a week. Unless you qualify for GIS processing takes many months (6 months is fairly typical).

If you qualified for GSS it is faster. The processing time in India is 8 weeks so expect it soon. If your joining date is soon then try reaching out to IRCC via webforms

Thanks. I don't think I qualify for GSS since my job is TEER 3. Non-GSS takes 8 weeks?

Background check started January

But all applicants status updated on tracker 19th may. Could it be that the main applicant has also begun eligibility check? But it’s not showing on tracker and gckey yet. No update since then

No non-GSS usually takes much longer the. 8 weeks. Often closer to 6 months. Posted processing times are often estimates and are often incorrect. Would suggest looking at processing time of multiple applicants from the same region to get an approximate idea of current normal WP applications. There is a variation in processing times depending on whether it is ICT, GSS, LMIA exempt, etc.

Unless you are a Ukrainian non-refugee. That seems to take only a few weeks... certainly no more than 4.
I know this for a certain fact as that is how it worked for my Ukrainian friends even though they haven't lived in Ukraine for 10+ years! Good for them and I hope they find happiness by taking total advantage of such an easy application process. For them
..the icing on the cake...they get the same benefits package given to genuine Ukrainian refugees. Unbelievable.
