Not to worry Dude... It takes longer than mentioned on CIC site. Hope you will get some good news shortly. Actually it's too much backlog they have to clear first and also rush of students. They get priority than work permit appcants

@Harman: from what I have heard and read, if you have received a mail from CIC with your application number and UCI, they have opened your application. You get it only once after they have opened it.

@Nikul: did you send in a paper application or an online application?

Hello friends,

My work permit applicantion was submitted online by Canadian Attorney on May 28th, 2018 . I have a valid job offer and my LMIA was exempted.

Its been over 10 weeks now, and I haven't yet heard back on my application.
At the time of filing the application, the processing time at the CIC website for work permits from India was showing 10 weeks, however, it has changed and exceeded to 14 weeks as of today. Can any one please suggest, if I should expect my application to be processed as per the time shown at submission or will it be processed in 14 weeks?

Also, if we have someone else from India who has filed for a work permit application around the same time, please share your timelines and progress.

Thanks & Regards,
Sakshi

Sakshi, my experience has been this.. my lawyer applied for the WP and TRV through Delhi end of Aug’16. During throws days the avg processing time was 9 weeks. I ended up getting the TRV and WP by mid of Jan’17 so all in all 19+ weeks. I thought that since I was living in UAE then probably the delay would have happened because of it...but no... my file was transferred to Canadian embassy in Abu Dhabi only by the end of 1st week in Jan...

Hi Nikul,

I am from New Delhi as well, so probably my office would be NDVO, I am not sure though.
Yes I checked with my lawyer, and he said there is no update on the application yet.
I can check the status of my file myself, but then I would have to link it to my account which would mean my lawyer would not have any insights on the progress - I didn’t want that, since he being in this business and having better knowledge.

I am just curious to know if the processing takes that long, hence I wanted to reach someone here with the same experience.

What was your processing timelines? When was your application submitted?[/QUOTE

I remember I used to chase my application up with my lawyer at the start of the month with my laywer, nothing could sway the application for an early resolution...
