HI GUYS,

I have applied for work permit extension under same employer last June 2015. Its been more than 6 months i have`nt got any news from CIC for now, the only thing it shows in myCIC account is that the status of my application is still open. I have contacted CIC 3 times already & i have got different response at each time. I am super stressed with this current situation i had plans to visit back home this coming march but i guess i wont be able to. I am desperate for help guys. Did anyone else applied for work permit extension lately ? or did anyone got there work permit approved recently ? please update this post. Many thanks in advance.


Mann.

I applied online for work work permit extension with the same employer on September 4, no news ever since. There is a thread on this forum about August/September applications. There I read that someone who applied in August has got their extension recently. On CIC web site it says they are working on the applications submitted in August. You need to call them again and you need to sound more demanding. In your case the processing time has already passed more than 2 months ago. They have to look specifically at your case. Call as many times as you have to. I found that different agents respond in a different way. If one if unhelpful - call right back and talk to another one.

Thanks for the reply. I have no clue whats taking them way so long to approve the work permit of the applicants. Guys lets put a timeline in order to help others same in our situation. Also one more thing, my permanent residence application is also in process its been 6 months i havent got any update on my file aswel. Does work permit extension processing delays the processing of permanent residence file process?

My timeline.

Applied on june 29th 2015. Online application.

Application status OPEN. MyCIC account

Still waiting.

Hi, i applied for a work permit extension online with same employer on July 14 2015 and still saying final decision not started on mycic. I have posted a letter to Vegreville and sent a webform enquiry but still no change .It doesn't seem fair when you see other threads getting permits in 3-4 months. I have also rang CIC about 6 times now and they just keep saying there is a backlog!!. :(

My friend just called CIC to follow up his wp application applied last july 18 bcoz its almost 6 months and still nothing good news, and the agent said they will going to verify if my friend restoration is legal thats why his application takes longer. He is under restoration when he re-applied his wp extension.
