Hey
Please I don’t know if anyone is in the same boat as me. I applied for a work permit with LMIA exemption and in the application it requested for invitation letter but am in Canada. I added the nomination work supporting letter and nomination. I want to know if that’s the right one and what is the processing time like

Hello Everyone
I applied for a closed work permit with LMIA exemption but during my application it requested for invitation letter but I submitted my nomination and support letter wp. How long did it take for you to receive yours if anyone has the same situation

Isn't the closed work permit processing time the same as a regular work permit (like a SOWP or PGWP)?

Similar but not exactly the same since the assessment for a CWP is far more substantial than PGWP and SOWP. Timelines likely to diverge more as IRCC actually starts vetting the applications and is trying to reduce volume of temporary residents.
