Where are you applying for WP from ?Hi,
My employer applied for my LMIA based work permit during Oct 2021. Is there a way to know whether my application is under GSS other than asking the employer?
If you don’t need an LMIA, you will be eligible for two-week processing if you meet all of these requirements:
- you are applying from outside Canada
- your job is either skill type 0 (managerial) or skill level A (professional) in the National Occupational Classification system
- your employer has submitted an offer of employment using the Employer Portal and paid the employer compliance fee
That is for LMIA-exemptions such as ICT. For LMIA (not exemption), you need to meet all the requirements:If you don’t need an LMIA, you will be eligible for two-week processing if you meet all of these requirements:
You need to qualify for all 3 points to be eligible for GSS processing which is now taking 65-70 days to process
- you are applying from outside Canada
- your job is either skill type 0 (managerial) or skill level A (professional) in the National Occupational Classification system

Workers who require an LMIA
Workers who require an LMIA qualify for 2-week processing if they meet all of these requirements:
- They’re applying from outside Canada.
- The employer has a positive LMIA through the Global Talent Stream of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (this is on the LMIA decision letter).
Well looks like the 2 week processing was long back or something. Now I am sure there are a lot of backlogs. When I checked in Feb, they would show GTS backlog and in feb 2022 they were looking at October 2021 applications . So looks like a 4 month period for GTS from that number if the pace is still the same.That is for LMIA-exemptions such as ICT. For LMIA (not exemption), you need to meet all the requirements:
