    If anyone of you qualify for the medical exam exemption, contact IRCC directly via the webform and tell them when you did the exam and also indicate your medical exam number ( I think it's called a IME no. ) Don't rely on IRCC to automatically waive the medical exam for you! Reach out to them...

    Because everyone is complaining, frustrated and blaming, perhaps we can try a different approach.

    Yes - that's exactly my point - the govt will have other priorities. And people's pie will get reduced because what the govt re-priotizes. If the problem is limited staff or funding - then how could we help? Perhaps allowing applicants to optionally opt-in to pay higher fees to more guarenteed...

    We could pressurize IRCC into processing our applications. I agree with comments said earlier: processing queues/lines in IRCC are subject to Canadian politics, issues and advocacies, domestic agenda. For example, IRCC could priotize and push other application down when they focus on other...

    For my application, I selected "1- Exemption from Labour Market Impact Assessment" But I also remember getting confused about that. Regardless make sure you include an explanation letter, stating that you are SUV applicant, attach your letter of support and indicate and attach documentation that...

    In my case, I didn't use the IMM5802 form. I used the online Employer portal to submit and pay the offer of employment (https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/start-visa/work-permits.html#4.0) But it seems in your case, you used instructions for...

    Your actual work permit and the dates it will be valid will be issued at the Port of Entry when you arrive ... so don't worry too much about what dates to put in the application ... just put some reasonable for about a year or a little over.

    Enter a duration of from the date you submit your application + 1 year + about 2-3months (processing time) If you apply today, select a start date of 30th October 2021 - 31 December 2022 But in actuality - when your work permit is approved, the officer will issue your work permit for a year...

    Whether the online portal says: "Foreign Worker - International Mobility Program" or "Foreign Worker (Visitor)" - that's not important. What's important, are the documents it will be requiring you to bring up at the end. So, another advice is that play around by selecting different work permit...

    @totti2007 it is correct - because I did that, applied for a WP under SUV and got approved. I think you should understand that the online application flow isn't perfect: it is not always exact especially for programs like ours, that have very few candidates applying. In my case, I had already...

    @totti2007 don't follow IRCC SUV work permit guidelines ON section 6.3: those instructions are out of date (I'm only talking the ones on section 6.3) Instead when applying online, select that you are applying for a "self-employed" work permit - then it will bring up the correct application forms.

    @Startup_Visa @Kb4568 let's be gentle and supportive of each other. This forum is to provide information and support. @Kb4568 I agree with you regarding your work permit - more than 18 months to process an inland work permit is wrong - even during Covid19 timelines. I think even at times a...
