I have sent you a whatsapp link please join on WP.

Has anyone of you applied for GCMS to know, where is it stuck. I guess it should give more insight. I have applied but will take time to get access.

Early June, I wrote to them directly,not via-webform and got a standard response that they are not processing WP due to limited staff availability. Is it LMIA based and do you qualify under GSS/GTS as well ? Today, eod they will update the processing time, which will give us an idea if they...

I guess we get to know tomorrow, if there is any activity as they will update the processing time. Last week processing time was 20 weeks, if it increases further means they haven't resumed processing work permits.

Only other explanation for delay could be that it is getting processed in Delhi consulate. Delhi WP are delayed, i don't know why but seems to be the trend.

However, ICT work permits are getting approved as I know of a colleague who got approval in May. So not sure when the stages involved are the same, LMIA/exempt visas are being delayed.

Which country have you applied from ? ICT or LMIA based ? All have an impact on the overall timeline.

Check the processing time and decide for yourself. India OWP, there is a significant backlog. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/check-processing-times.html

Work permit processing time for India has increased to now 20 weeks and has been increasing every week. Looks like WP are not been worked upon. Any one got WP approval in last 10 days ?

You will get 50 points if your WP is LMIA backed, else for normal WP you will get 50 points after a year. https://leromlaw.com/canada-immigration-blog/3-scenarios-on-how-to-get-50-or-200-job-offer-points-under-canada-express-entry

Congratulations !!! good to hear.

They responded way faster like in a day or two. Their first response is a template one and second one usually have a bit more detail, but mostly standard templated answers which you can make out by copy paste on emails.

My last communication with them was on 25th May. They responded that they are working on emergency response mode with only critical functions working. Do let us know the response once you hear back from them.

Week apart.

Not unusual, I know of a friend's case. His family received separate requests though he was the primary applicant. Where did you apply from ?

Good to hear that LMIA based WP from India are being looked into now. UMI linking is it required in all the cases ? My profile says medical passed.

Since the processing is happening in Delhi, India, you need to follow local office processing time. One option is to send the webform, citing urgency by your employer to expedite your case.
