Applied in Sep 2020 and still waiting. Looks like the processing has been very slow due to COVID. I have seen some people post that they have received the PPR who have applied in August from countries that have lesser requests. The average processing time does not seem to work as mine has gone well past 11 weeks posted for Oman. So all I can say is hang in there.

Hi i am also a work permit applicant and together with my application i also applied for my husband open work permit and student permit for the kids. You don’t have to be in canada to apply for an open work permit for your spouse. We’re done with our biometrics and now we are waiting for our medical request. I hope this helps.
May I know please for which province you applied for ?

Hi all ,
In applying for work visa officer said
I am not convinced the offer letter is authentic


I feel the one I uploaded was the unsigned one offer letter ,as the employer gave me to read through first and I signed before I sent employer to sign.

Do you think without the employers signature could make them say it is not authentic orcould there be something else?
If paradventute I attached the one that was actually signed by the employer what do you think could make the VO say he does not believe the offer letter is authentic ?
Your advise please.

Yes was refused.I applied for Lmia exempt under francophone mobility pathway.
the timing was so short in less than 2 weeks of processing .Every other thing was passed like background and medicals. I did upfront medicals.
You advise please.

The letter was
Thank you for your interest in working in Canada.After having examined your work permit application and supporting documents under the International Mobility program, I conclude that yiur request does not meet the IRCC regulations. I reject yimour request for the following reason(s)

-I am not convinced that the job offer is authentic.

You can reapply if you demonstrate you meet this requirement.

Please advise.

I think one of the reason of the refusal is the unsigned job offer you mentioned.

But may i know from which country did you apply?

Applied from Nigeria.
Is there a possibility to check the submitted documents in my account just to verify which document I uploaded?
As I want to be sure if I uploaded the signed or unsigned document.
Please advise

Hi i am not sure if this is possible. What i knew is that you can see the pdf uploaded in your account but you can’t view it once submitted. So I think there’s no way you can view your submitted file unless you save a copy of it in your computer like what we did.

Thank you.
Unfortunately I saved both signed and unsigned using the same file name.But the area I stored them in the computer shows its the unsigned one I uploaded.
Is there any other thing I can do to reapply besides uploading the signed one?
