Hi Folks,
I just found this thread. Posting on behalf of my wife.
Her company filed for her work permit under Global Skills Strategy (GSS) (2-weeks processing) Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA)-exempt and ICT. My wife's an auditor so I'm assuming they have filed under NOC 1111. She already had valid biometrics so she just had to complete up-front medical and police certificates while submitting docs to her employer's Law firm. They filed for her permit on March 11 (sent IRCC submission letter for the same).
Now pretty much because of COVID19 there has been no update on her application after 1 month when her lawyer checked the status of the application it was 'medical passed' on March 11 (same day they submitted the application).
I am wondering how much more time it would take approximately as we want to travel back to Canada as soon we can now that foreign workers can travel.
Any advice?

An update I would like to share is :
Received Biometrics validity of 10 years mail today (4 hours before this post).
Nothing much changed in life.
Note: Due to COVID, All travels banned. My client reduced billing and my travel in jeopardized. I am not sure I can travel even if I get visa
What kind of visa? If you want to apply for a work permit, you need to get a job offer and approved LMIA from an employer in Canada first.
I'm right behind you with 28 weeks. I sent web requests too, they simply ignored all the mail and said to "Wait", what a fun.
I tried to reach embassy on fb and they replied they don't respond for general or status queries. I got question whatelse would they be answering to ? canadians only may be
