Hi everyone, I have received a passport request letter from IRCC, my passport was sent on October 4 and VFS confirm delivery to IRCC on October 7, I have been waiting since then but no update, do I have to be worried? The letter from VAC reads ........The envelope for the decision on the results of your visa that has been processed has been received at the Canadian Visa Application Center at Abuja OC, on the date. We will then send this to the Canadian Visa Application Center Abuja OC. Please note that this is an automated email. Please DO NOT reply to this email. Your decision envelope will be returned to you via the courier service offered by the VAC. Collection of decision envelopes in-person at the VAC is not permitted until further notice
Quebec Skilled Worker Federal Stage (After CSQ)
- Thread starter quebec100
- Start date
I was checking some reddit posts on this. Some people that applied in July received their AoR, while there's one account that applied in June and nothing so far.
the furthest I could understand is, it can take from 2 to 5 months, there's no clear reason why it can take, since the AoR can be only emitted once all documentation is accurate and verified.
For reference:
I Applied Sept 5 and nothing yet, but again, I'm only 2ish months in the wait.
2-5 months until AoR.
You need AoR, if you don't have it, you can't bridge.

Depending on your situation, you can apply for WP extension using CSQ only though. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/temporary-residents/foreign-workers/quebec-cases/labour-market-impact-assessment-exempt-work-permit-renewals-extensions-certain-quebec-selection-holders.html
Thank you. That is correct. My Work permit actually expired Sep 24th . I did apply for a employer specific work permit with my current employer on Sep 19th .
The reason I am asking is:
I'm planning on leaving the country on Nov 22nd until the end of January. I would love to send a BOWP application before I leave (as i would be still considered on implied status ) and as long as the AOR comes on time. I'm just wondering about when could I expect such extension. I know on the Canada's website is mentioned that it takes 154 Days for a work permit, just wondering if there is anyone with a similar experience.
I do have a current multiple entry visitor visa, and I am aware that when returning I won't be able to keep working until a decision is made on the work permit application.
