Halo thank you very much for your kind reply one more question how early i have to apply for renewal before expiration of my work permit

If you want to submit online before one month is enough or hard copy have to submit before 3 months

I am not sure where are these people who were involved in this discussion? Do they receive any news?
Still waiting 5 months after the postponed date. Looks like 1000 years waiting:(
Think you need to realize that system is very overwhelmed. People's situation will unlikely change week to week that is why people are not posting. You have not been waiting very long compared to others. If you are approved you get to start the PR process which ill likely end up being close to 3 years.

I assume the people who work there barely know what is going on they are jist trying to slowly get through the never ending pile. Assume they will try and go FIFO to minimize any time wasted on administrative stuff. FIFO you don't have to screen the applicants to see if you want to expedite some applicants. At what point they decided to do that is anyone's guess but assume the wait times will increase for protected status and then to get PR after protected status. There is nothing you can do about it but wait but posted times are most likely irrelevant. As a Canadian I also think this system is stupid. Makes much more sense to hire many more people to process applications faster. Less expensive than paying for health care, social assistance and education for applicants who don't have grounds for asylum for many years. Also the longer it takes the more grounds for H&C.
