Processing Time and Status Requests
Once the application is submitted and the processing fee has been paid we will conduct a preliminary assessment of the application. We will then send you further instructions by mail, including the instructions for obtaining police certificates and for conducting medical examinations. Please wait at least 10 working days for your instructions to arrive before sending any inquiries about the status of your file. Once you have received the instructions, you must take the medical examinations at the earliest possible date to ensure timely processing of your application. Medical examinations are completed at your own expense and at your own risk. Completing a medical examination does not guarantee that a visa will be issued.
May we remind you not to resign from your employment until final approval is granted.
Due to high volume of applications in process, the processing of work permit applications may take 4 months from the time the application is submitted to this office. Some cases may take longer. Instructions or decision will be sent by mail. You may be asked to attend an interview or to submit additional documents. It is your responsibility to satisfy the visa officer that you meet all Canadian immigration requirements. If you fail to attend the interview or do not supply the requested documents within the specified period of time, your application will be refused.
