My bad, I meant the approval on the wp application.
yes you are right.
but I am not sure it was a mistake that they issued the wp from the pass request date since one of my friend got that in Toronto airport and another one got that in Vancouver airport. It is an very odd coincidence if we think it was a mistake!!!
Thank you for your advice.
This is how the process is. When u get the sticker on passport, thats your permit to fly. You also get the same day or next day, Letter of Introduction.
After landing, during interview, you need to share the LOI & sometimes business plan. When WP is granted its either 1 or two years. Currently its one year as they see the SUV processing time come down to 16 to 24 months post Jan 2024. Finally for WP its always from the date LOI is issued as the officer scans it and picks your info there.
This nullifies the husk that apply for WP as essential, go there and just spend two weeks and settle their family with SOWP. This is a pain for them so they are addressing it.
For WP extension, review methods are tightened up. We have two instances of request for progress report, roadmap for next 52 weeks, allign it with work week of 40 hours and funds.
hope this tit bit of info was useful
