Does anyone know how long it takes to get an Employer-Specific work permit approved? I applied under the Temporary policy for visitors in Canada. I would like to know how long it takes to get as it's stated on IRCC website that it's been prioritize.

Assuming you applied online, posted processing times within Canada are approximately 4 months.

Since you have a LMIA, average processing is 133 days. What is your current status? Don’t know about prioritization as IRCC seems to use the term loosely.

I'm currently on Maintained status as a visitor in Canada. I applied for the WP few days ago.
