    Work permit delay in visa processing

    LMIA based WPs have not been picked up from India. Also I suspect that delay is more for cases which are getting processed in Delhi. I don't' have GCMS but anyone with GCMS can say if they have seen any recent activity. Also after opening consulate they will prioritize students over WP candidates.
