Delay in work permit under GSS

[otqaz]

Hi every one,

Let's share our timeline regarding work permit applications under GSS. I Its been 4 months now that I am waiting.

Submission: 16 Feb 2021
Biometric: 18 Feb 2021
asked additional documents: 23 Mar 2021
Additional documents added: 10 Mar

No update since then. I am suspicious that they are processing GSS work permit application nowadays. Anyone who got the work permit recently?

Hello, Can you please share what was the additional document asked for and is your application based on LMIA or LMIA exempted Job offer

Hi
My LMIA based closed work permit submitted on July 2020
NOC 2173 - Software developer
Upfront medicals
biometrics and medicals passed in November 2020
medicals expired in March 2021
Got medical request from IRCC on April 2021
medicals again passed in May 2021
Afterwards no update
Applied GCMS notes and raised web forms few times and got generic response only.
Is there anything we can do to at least know when we will receive final decision.
Thanks

Was your LMIA GTS based?
What was mentioned in GCMS notes; which stages have been passed and which are yet to reviewed?

They asked for a few documents that I forgot to upload. My application was based on a LMIA exempted job offer.
