Need some suggestion here, my ICT has a client name mentioned that doesn't seem to operate out of Canada (it is basically an US client), however the work location that was mentioned is my current employer branch in Toronto. How do i write a convincing expedite letter to IRCC and what details i can highlight...

Appreciate your quick valuable inputs. Thanks

Hello, I submitted on May 5th, biometrics have been collected in Jan. 2020 when I applied for visitor visa. Since then there is no update at all. I send a webform inquiry two weeks ago and got the response after one week, which is just a template saying they are processing my application.
I am LMIA exempt work permit, type A, for postdoc scholars.
Hi ,Any update in your application? I had applied on 5th Sept in Dubai under GTS, LMIA excempt, NOC type 0

Do you mind sharing your Canada job location? I am seeing Toronto permits getting approved more frequently than Vancouver permits.
