impossoble to say how long and whether you will be approved. Partially depends on your job and industry. At least a few months usually but can be longer.

I have applied for work permit under ICT Non-GSS Category from India. Can anyone confirm if there is any WhatsApp group available for this? And any tracker available which has the past applicants timelines? It would be really great if you could help me with the same. Thanks in advance!

Hello all,

I'm new to the forum and would like to contribute so it can help people understand the timelines.
I have been recently approved of work permit for me and my wife under ICT non-GSS category. Following is my timeline:

Upfront medical test: Mar 14, 2022.
1) ICT non-GSS from Pune, India. My company appointed Immigration consultants from Vancouver, BC handled my application
2) Application received by IRCC: May 17, 2022
3) Biometrics for wife: May 18, 2022
4) Biometrics for me: already had business visa
5) Passport submission request: Aug 5, 2022

I'd be glad to answer any questions from members. I understand the anxiety this delay creates, been there, done that. I get a feeling that if the immigration consultants are experienced, your application will be processed faster. Of course the applicants' clear documentation is the biggest decider. But that's just my feeling, IRCC works in strange ways. My timeline was certainly shorter than what IRCC showed on its website. Good luck to all!

Thank you so much for sharing, can I know what your NOC Code is please? I am also NON GSS category, waiting for my ICT since Jan this year from the UAE but the processing times are a lot and hence the delay

Hi, this seems super quick. I applied under GSS and application received by IRCC on 26 May, no news on Police Clearance or any other update for me as of date...Can you share when did you receive the Police Clearance request from IRCC?

Not sure if I'm right (because everything was handled by my immi consultants) but I think my NOC was 2021 B (specialized knowledge).
