I have applied for work permit for Canada under ICT from USA. My biometrics was done on 21st April'21. I checked with my company, and they said Attorney will update once there would any updates. I am just wondering, if any of you are able to check status by yourself and how to do it?
Many are getting approvals within 2 weeks if applied under GSS from US. Did you give your biometric at VFS center or USCIS ASC?

If your NOC is 0 or A are you automatically under GSS or do you have to apply separately for GSS? My NOC is A , but I am not sure if the attorney applied under GSS.

This forum has been immense help in my Canada Journey....It's my time to share so it may help someone like it did for me since few months back...

Timeline
ICT WP applied from US under GSS - 5/7
Biometric at ASC - 5/24
Approval - 5/30

No PPR in my case due to already having Canada TRV. Approval requested for 3 years, but given until PP/TRV expiry.

Hello everyone,

My employer has applied for ICT yesterday, I am from India. I don't need to give biometrics as I have already given those as part of my PR application.

So, I have the following question, What's the general timeline to get PPR? I saw from the IRCC website that they are processing March applicants, is that correct or the delay is more than that?

I got passport request letter, but it has got expired, as it had 30 days of validity. I couldn't action on that timely, due to some personal circumstances. Is there a way to get new passport request letter or any way-out? please advise.

Could you please post the link where it says March applications are being processed? I cant see anything on their website.

Hi, my future employer applied for my WP on May 27th, and received passport request letter today (June 7th). I did not have to submit biometrics because I had already submitted it for PR application (AoR Jan 2nd, still processing). I have a couple of questions:
  1. Does receiving the passport request letter imply that the work permit has been approved?
  2. In the email to vfsshippinglabels@vfsglobal.com, the excel sheet that needs to be attached has a field called 'Application type'. In the drop down, I should select 'Original Passport submission', correct? (The other options are Work Permit, Student, PRTD).
  3. To opt for online payment rather than money order, just mentioning it in the email to the above ID is enough?
Thank you!
