Hi, anyone recently approved for GSS (Global Talent Stream) ? Trying to understand the current processing time. I have applied on 7th July and gave biometrics on 14th July. I know currently it is taking longer than normal so looking for estimates

Do you also need to provide medical and police certificates with your application?

Congrats man, that's fast. I am in the same boat, How long did it take for LMIA to get approved? Can you share the LMIA process in your timeline as well.
Thank you

Mine also similar LMIA work-permit from US.
Application submitted on : 22-jul-2021
Biometric completed on : 22-Jul-2021

On 16-AUG-2021, attorney said they have asked to resubmit LMIA approval which has been done and application in-progress, thats the only update they provided to me.

I am yet to receive signed job offer from company even though they have filled the work permit.

Is your work permit handled by company attorney? did you know if the Job offer letter is submitted along with your application?

When was your LMIA application submitted to IRCC and how long it took for approval?
