Hi Everyone,
I want to share my story for other who are in similar situation. I applied for my post graduation work permit on May 15, and like my other friends i did not receive the IMM EXT work authorization letter immediately. I had a job confirmation but my employer was not ready to proceed without my work authorization letter, i called IRCC every other day and filled out web forms too but i did mot receive the work authorization letter for three weeks (21 days). Thinking i might loose the job, i flagpoled and got my work permit the same day (i was lucky). But i had read on one these portals that if you raise a technical issue instead of a web form and mention that your biometrics and UCI have not been updated and you are requesting to update them then they update your application and receive the interim work authorization letter. Along with my web forms i had also raised this technical issue a week ago. and guess what, the day i fagpoled,, the very next day IRCC updated my boimetrics and UCI and i also received my interim work authorization letter (which at this point is uesless because i already have my work permit and i requested to cancel my online application)
My advice to those who need the interim work authorization letter and haven’t received one is to raise a technical issue and request for an update on your biometrics and UCI (considering both those sections are blank in your application currently).
