Based on our timelines, LMIA comes within 2/3 months and after that the work permit comes in 6 months... It's a long waiting time currently to go through the LMIA approved work permit process.

Hello everyone. So I am south African, and applied online for a work permit with a positive LMIA on Sept 14th 2018. We are going on 5 and a half months here. When I first applied it said 15 weeks which is what I told my job. It fluctuates on CIC every week. It's been 23 weeks I have been waiting now. If I don't hear something soon I may lose my job and I am freaking out. Especially since I am guessing I am going to need a medical exam which will probably take 1 month in total to get and finalize with an answer, then its 3 to 4 weeks to get my passport stamped. So regardless I am looking to wait a minimum of 2 months from when I hear something. If I don't get into Canada by May, I am going to lose this job. Any guidance anyone?! For how long it took some of you guys for all this? Thanks!

Hi,

I am in the same situation as you are, where my future employer applied for the work permit. I am waiting for the email that you got for the biometric scans for me and my family. How did the process go? Do we submit the passports as well when we go for the biometric scan? Or is there another appointment later to submit the passports for visa stamping? I'm trying to figure out how much time this whole process might take.

Thanks

Hi,

I have submitted my documents through my company on February 2nd to Canada high commission New Delhi, India. I have got online tracking number and it is showing as my application is being processed. Its almost 4 and half months and my company is following up with High commission via email but there is no response from them. Submitted case request to CIC last week and no response yet for that (May be it will take another 10 days). Not sure why my application got delayed and there is no request for additional documents or no response from Canada High Commission. How to check my status and how to expedite the process? Can someone help me here with your experience. I have submitted my original passport as well along with my application.


Thanks

Hi ,
I am in Canada and my husband is in India, we applied SOWP by September 14th, 2018 online. It's been 24 weeks+(i.e.) nearing 6 months but we haven't heard a signal update from the Delhi High Commission, we contacted them twice submitted ICRR Web Form request but no response and even I check the status with the Local Member of Parliament(MP) - I got a reply stating the immigration will contact the person directly one the result is rendered.
What is the possibilities of our visa ? any help would be greatly helpful.
