There is hope.Last month l still saw a ghost update on my application that was why l even requested for another note becos l wanted to know if my eligibility has changed.1.8million backlogs cant just be discarded like that. Mine was upfront Medical.l package the app myself.No Document was requested. This is just my take on this

Is there anything our employers can do to remind IRCC to process our applications?
May be calling IRCC since employers are in Canada.
Applied also from Nigeria ..closed work lmia exempt....since February 2021....processing office Nairobi.
I dont understand the delay because thesame office is processing study permits daily including Saturdays.
What can we do?
I am a Nigerian living in Dubai. I got my provincial nomination early this month under MPNP and my employer is still trying to figure out the best way and country where I could be so my work permit can be done in lesser weeks. UAE could take up to 35 weeks or more...

kindly share with me if you have a better idea on what to do.

UAE should be a better option for you cos Nigeria timeline now is around 84 weeks there about . Also there’s no other country you can claim except you have a legal stay .

Hi Guyz,

i finally got approval for my ICT WP. However the duration of work permit is less than 2 years (1.5 years) stamped in the passport. My passport is valid till 2025 so not sure why the WP durations is less. Is it that the letter which i getin immigration will have the correct duration of 2 years?

Dear All

I have an approved GTS LMIA and done with my biometrics on 9th March 2020 for closed work permit outside Canada from India.
The Application shows under processing due to the current circumstances of Covid-19.

Has anyone received work permit approval recently when applied for closed work permit during time frame of Feb-March.
Hi Nikhil, Did you get your work permit approved? My friend was in similar situation from India. If they dont want to process work permit because of covid, they might not approved LMIA also right? Then why they are delaying the work permit by approving the LMIA. Still I dont understand.

Hi

Has any one came across a situation where IRCC has asked documents from canadian employer for LMIA based work permit. is this normal?

It came as a additional document request from IRCC asking some specific documents from the canadian employer (like source deductions and cra notice of assessment for company etc)

Work permit application in UAE
Just to share my experience in this forum. I was submitted my work permit online application last June 2020. Biometric and medical examination was also completed but still upto now I haven't received any update. It's almost 1 year and 8 months now.
Is there any other way to contact ircc aside from webform?
