Mine is paper based , sent it on 12 april , still nothing! I am already in Canada , like visitor so i think my case is different!
 
Dear all members

Please share your status who is in Canada currently and sent work permit application to consulate in NY (paper base), especially wanted to hear your status who sent application after VAC opened in NY (after middle of July). I am about sending my work permit application soon by mail to the consulate in NY directly from Canada. Also I still wonder we are eligible to apply our initial work permit within Canada just holding visitor status in Canada. If I can do that, then my application will be checked outside Canada which means at a consulate in NY.

Thank you VERY much for your information or valuable advice in advance!

Hi siva,

R u sure that may 14 applications were being processed on sep 30th?
Because i wrote a query october 1st(just 1 day after you) and got the reply today that they are processing May 22nd applications(paper based)

In that case, did they process 7-8 days(may 14-may 22) in just 1 working day ?
Just curious to know and analyze the situation…

Thanks,
Varun

Yes, those were the queue dates that I got from the embassy's reply. We can only speculate for now.

Finally received my approval email for my paper based application applied on May 14,today.
Anyone knwo how much time it will take to receive passport and documentation.

Did u receive your passport? How many days does it take??
 
Applied online on August 8th from NY. Still waiting. Any update from any one who got their work permit application accepted any time soon.

Also how much dose NY office takes to get the stamping done on your passport for online applicants once your initial application is approved?
