Hi,

I've called IRCC today and they said my application is being processed in NYC, even though I am not a US citizen and I'm inside Canada! My application was submitted(Online) in the first week of January 2017 and in the first week of March I did my medical exams. Since the 'Medical Approved', no changes in the IRCC website. According to CIC website, the processing time for Work Permit in US is 11 weeks, which has passed. Any suggestion what should I do?

Ty very much!
Regards

1. Your work permit has to be processed outside Canada if you are not eligible to apply in Canada.
2. The 11 weeks processing is for 80% of applications, as you are not US Citizen or GC holder, they will contact the Visa office in your normal country of residence which takes additional time.

Hi,

I also experienced a similar delay, i.e., for me processing time indicated in the CIC website was only 2 weeks (Japan) and I was not a Japanese. Then, it had been passed more than6 weeks. Someone suggested me that 'You can also use the online web form to request a status update on your own application, that is here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/contacts/web-form.asp'.
When I lodge an inquiry, still there was no reply; however, in second day they asked me to submit additional documents (police clearances). After I submitted them, within 2 days, I received my decision letter.

You may try using above link to lodge an inquiry.

Good luck

Hi, have you received your final decision now? I applied at the end of Jan and stayed in the same situation with you.
