Work Permit Extension through Provincial Support Letter - Processing Timeline

[happyfox00]

One thing I noticed that once we get the update on Biometric, and if application is not complicated one then the approval comes in less than 5 working days.

I didn't know about this thread.

I submitted my LMIA exempt closed WP on September 24th (along with my wife's SOWP). Still waiting.

Any timeline updates? I noticed today that processing times for work permits went down to 125 days. My application is at 127 days, so I hope I get something soon.

I got approved today. I submitted my application November 4th 2024 and got my WP-EXT only except PGWP document on November 5th.

My passport expires in July and currently getting a new passport so will to webform them when that arrives but that's a future issue

I have 2 quick questions when filling the questionaire to apply for a work permit:

Q1 for this question:

Are you
A) a spouse, common-law partner or dependent child of a foreign worker who holds a valid work permit or is approved for a work permit. Not all family members of workers are eligible. Check if you are eligible to apply for an open work permit;
B) a person who holds a temporary resident permit that is valid for 6 months or more;
C) a person who applied for permanent residence to an office in-Canada and was determined to be eligible for permanent resident status (first stage approval); or
D) a person who applied for permanent residence in a program under Express Entry and is applying for a bridging open work permit

It seems for [C], I should choose YES, cuz I submitted my PR application last year, and it passed medical/biometric/eligibility, and now the background check is in process. the program is Express Entry (Provicial Nomination Program), however my nomination has employment restriction, so I can not apply for BOWP, and I am eligible for a T13 closed work permit.

I am living in canada, and submitted the PR application online, and received AOR, should I answer this question (matches option [C]) as YES?
However, if answer YES, it will direct me to "Open work permit" (need to pay open work permit fee), and i get no entry to upload my nomination letter and work support letter?

May I know what should I do for this?

Q2 Also I am a provicial nomination letter and work support letter, I am a provincial nominee holder or I am applying for employer specific work permit LMIA exempt --- should I choose I am a provincial nominee holder?

thanks a lot ! @Miss bee
