It took 2.5 months for the application to be approved. applied on 15th Feb and approval on 29th April. You have to note that this was an lmia exempt work permit for a postdoctoral research position. I have so far noticed that postdoc work permits are approved within 2-3 months. In fact one person I know got his post doc work permit approved in just 1 month, and that too last year when corona 2nd wave was wreaking havoc in India. However, the same might not be true for other professions. Maybe, this is why your application is taking longer.
