Hello

(LMIA based closed work permit) is taking too long to process.
The processing time from the UAE is now at 23 weeks and it’s been 32 weeks since I did my biometrics.

below is my timeline

application submitted : 11 march 2024
Biometrics instruction letter: 18 march 2024
Biometrics completed: 20 march 2024
Medical results passed : 22 march 2024

since then I’ve been is eligibility review and background check

hopefully I get a decision soon

Canada is cracking down on the number of temporary residents so it has become much harder to get a WP and it takes much longer.
