    Dosent look like the usual. From what i've heard, for online portal submissions, you should receive request for biometric soon after you submit your proposal, along with an AOR with an application number. Maybe you can check some more why it hasnt moved ahead. Hope this helps, all the best.

    Hey, the next step post getting a temp application number, is getting an AOR. For March 2022 applications, you will get this approximately in March 2024, as per current timelines. You will be able to see your application in the system by removing X only after you get an AOR . So dont think there...

    Accidentally applied for a Visitor record rather than a TRV. Is my work permit invalid now?

    The same thing happened with me! Got a visitor record approved instead of a TRV, such a pain. And I hear its a common mistake. My agent told me that it dosent matter though. I dont think its an issue or the work permit becomes invalid, etc. We can just ignore the Visitor record (you can confirm...

    You should get the biometric request letter immediately when you apply for a WP, is what I have experienced, unless it has been given to them in a previous application. You should check in case it hasnt come in as yet.

    Yes, for the current application you have submitted, I believe, your visa as well and your work permit will be issued only till the last day of your passport. My view is that the renewal processes are an unnecessary pain, and avoiding them for as much time as possible maybe better. As you are...

    Yes possibly. All online applications (including EE, WP, etc) get AOR immediately and request for biometric. But then they just get added to the queue, so it maybe pretty much the same.

    Dont think it will affect the processing time, since currently the applications are being processed serially. But when your file is picked up, they may ask you the business progress. Since you received a WP, they may specifically expect you to show progress in the Canadian business. Your...

    Yes, a travel Visa is automatically issued and stamped on your passport when your first work permit gets approved. So no need to apply separately. Also, it is generally a multiple entry visa, hence valid for multiple entries into Canada. (Y)

    Yes, it is fairly accurate and it is different for different countries outside Canada. The processing generally happens by or before the timeline mentioned.
