I am sorry I do not believe its fair for anyone to wait for 4 months before they issued with a temporary owp for inland application, especially for those with an existing temporary permits (like Student, Visitors, TVP, WP) not yet expired. I can understand and appreciate the high volume or numbers of application IRCC received, but to say you have to wait 4 months and in the course of waiting, many people loss job offers, more pressure is been heaped on families and spouses of those not working. Under a more reasonable grounds, it should be automatic immediately you get the Acknowledgement of Receipt which is always on or before six weeks after the date of receipt. The work permits allows applicant to start working and contributing to the economy right away and that would reduce the pressure on families, spouses and even the IRCC themselves.
I read about the pilot and I am a little bit confused, does that mean they would stop it by 2020 or what exactly IRCC trying to say here?
