Hello everyone,

I'm applying for an LMIA - GTS (Global Talent Stream) inside Canada (BC) and the application was submitted on April 18th and is still being processed.

Has anyone recently applied and received LMIA GTS approval within 2 weeks as stated on the government website?
How about the closed work permit? Is it also processed within 2 weeks as well?

Thanks

My company received LMIA within 3 days in February.
However, I'm waiting for a new work permit while 110 days inside Canada. Also, the BC region.

Yes, I am. I'm a Software Engineer. I think it depends on your company status. If it's a big corporation, IRCC will confirm LMIA very fast.

Have you thought about flagpoling?

For the LMIA in BC, I heard that employers have to get first business registration certificates, am I right? My close work permit expiring in first week of August and my employer is trying to get LMIA for my work permit extension. Any advice for work permit extension if I don’t get LMIA approval soon please?

Does anyone receive any updates from IRCC? I'm waiting for a response for 124 days.

The current processing time for a work permit within Canada is 97 days but they don’t mention if it’s business days or not. Are you counting 124 calendar days?
