Hey everyone,

I applied for a work permit replacement from outside Canada and sent my documents via mail on January 20, 2025. I submitted a web form on February 19 asking for confirmation, and IRCC responded that my application was received on February 19, 2025.

However, I haven’t received an Acknowledgment of Receipt (AOR) or application number yet. I also tried linking my application to my GCKey account, but it says no application was found.

Has anyone else applied for a work permit replacement from outside Canada?

  • How long did it take to get an AOR or any update after IRCC confirmed receipt?
  • Is it normal that I can’t link my application yet?
  • Does IRCC usually acknowledge the application via web form first before sending an official AOR?
Would really appreciate any advice or insights from those who have gone through this process. Thanks!
