Has your
Yes my application was approved in October along with my family memebrs. My friends (I remember 3 postdocs who applied with their family members) also applied from Pakistan and all the application were processed and approved within 5-6 months time period.
Had your status changed from the beginning or it was stuck with" We are processing your application"?

Hi all, I haven't posted on here previously but I have read through threads to get an idea of how long permits typically take. Just for info, I had my work permit approved last night (on a sunday surprisingly) for a postdoc (research fellow). I'm from the UK and completed my biometrics on November 9th 2021. My application went straight from "We are processing your background check" to approved. Good luck to you all!
Can you please write about your timeline ? Thanks

hello everyone,

I got an offer from a university in ontario for post-doctoral researcher position. They sent me my offer and LMIA-exemption reference document.

My questions are as such:
1- When I try "come to canada tool", they ask me to upload:
  • Employment Reference Letter
  • Letter from Current Employer
  • Employment Records
  • Proof that you Meet the Requirements of the Job Being Offered
  • CV/résumé
  • Employment Contract


    I am quite confused in the process. I have already job offer and lmia exemption. why would I need to upload employment reference letter. I am not sure if I am selecting right answers for those questions.
    Is there anyone who applied for post-doc researcher work permit before??
Yes what they asked me is the same thing they also asked me

You dont need to worry aabout contract starting date as long as you professor knows progreess of your work permit application.

After you receive the work permit approval letter, professor will issue you with an updated letter quoting that he still needs you for his project.

silll no update; "in process"

what about you?
Sorry to ask you again! I am really wondering whether they already opened our cases or our applications stuck in a million overdue applications. So, Is your status still "We are processing your application"? or is it something else?

I don't know what is really causing the delay for them to approve the visa.
