Hi,

I got my passport with the Canadian visa stamped in it on Oct 30th, 2017. My work visa application was processed at the New York visa center. I have not received work permit approval letter ( some may call it Letter of Introduction) till date. I did not receive any letter with my passport or via email or in my CIC account.

Is there anybody else with a similar experience who can share or advice?

hey mayank, i am in the same boat as you are. i had received approval on 18th Oct and got TRV stamped on 23rd Oct but havent received approval letter as of now. I really don't know why it takes so much time once the decision has already been taken, and when i enquired embassy through webform they say that i do not require LOI to travel to canada as officers can access our work permit through online system. On the other hand my lawyer says that it is mandatory to have approval letter and not to make any travel plans, i am really stuck and don't know whom to ask help.

I received an approval notice via my lawyer on Nov. 7.All it says that your application for work/study has been approved. What I noticed is that it contains document number for your work permit. I am assuming this document number helps the immigration officer to retrieve and print the work permit at the port of entry. This is all I can say.

Do you mind telling me where are you coming from?
