Work permit application status

[Canadianguy_2012]

I have applied for work permit for canada from USA. Did biometric on sep 27 2021.My application is stuck at we are reviewing if you meet the eligibility requirements and we are processing your background check from last 4 months? Does any one know if is this normal or when can I expect an answer.

another question is previously I was able to check application status via automated system now from last couple of days when I enter all the information it says we received your application on this date and for further/better experience we will transfer your call to agent. Automated system did not provide status.Is this normal or does that mean there is an update to application. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Is your application complex?
How much is your work experience?
Is it ICT?
Is it under GTS or GSS?

not sure not if application is complex. I have 5 years of experience. Non ict. Non gts or gss.

I already checked that link. It’s been 16 weeks after biometric and still no update. Processing time from USA is only 8 weeks. Why automated system not providing application status.
