Processing time for ICT work permit

[Sundar2019]

I got an update from my company immigration department that they received for approval today for a person(my colleague) who filed ICT on 28-Feb
This is a good news
I have no other details related to this case...

Good to hear! Did your colleague file from India?

Just want to update you guys. See my previous posts for timeline. I wrote an email to IRCC COVID-Travel Exemptions inbox asking them to finalize my work permit application. WP was approved in July and I'm waiting for "passport request letter". IRCC get back to me after 3-days with the following message.

Please be advised that we are not sending original passport request letters at this time. The responsible visa office will contact you with special instructions to submit your passport during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Hi Friends,

I received my passport request today and it says you have 30 days to submit. ( I applied on March26 ICT from US)
But now I am in India and VAC centers are closed for month of September.
Please suggest what can be done

Thanks

You can apply for B1 till the time you receive your passport. So that you won’t have to travel back to India

Thank you ... I will check with my employer as I have just one more week.

You can

You can file this yourself in case your employer doesn’t agree to file that. Also, it’s better to be in US cz if you travel to India you won’t be able to get your passport stamped and that might delay your process for further 3-4months
