Need Advice : LMIA Approved, what is Work Permit process Time?

[Hygreeva]

Dear Members,

I have a question and need your help.

I am located in Europe. My employer from Canada applied for LMIA and got approval last week.

Now I provided documentation for Work Permit to my employer. They hired external company PWC on my behalf to apply for work permit. Could you please tell me, how long this process may take in general? Of course I am not asking for exact period but a tentative period based on your experiences? This will help me to plan my resignation from current employer.

Your input is most valuable and appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Where in Europe are you?
It is hard to say as processing times can change and it can also exceed the processing times without a final decision.
When I applied processing time was 8 weeks, then increased to 11 weeks, then 16, then 17 now it is back to 14 weeks and I am now on week 17 with no final decision.
I haven't even handed in my letter of resignation at my current employer, as I won't know a solid date.
I'm learning patience is key it seems.
Good Luck.
