Online Work Permit Application timeline for India?

[Bunny Thapar]

Hi Guys,

I am from India.

My lawyer from Canada has filed for my Work Permit on 02nd Sept, 2017 through Online post Positive LMIA.

I dont have an access to the login details to check the status of my application as my Lawyer has the common login details for all their clients.

Can anyone please let me know tentatively by when can I hear a positive reply from the CIC as I have my joining date at Work as 01st November.

@scylla and all senior members of the Forum your reply would be much appreciated.

I call +1-613-944-4000 from India everyday which is costing me a FORTUNE to know the status from the automated voice system but it just says one thing that they are reviewing the application and would contact me once they have the decision.

Any reply from the members of the Forum would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.


Cheers!!!

Hi bunny,

I applied on July 17th. Online Lima based. Sorry bro there is not set time for the processing. Some get early and some applications get delayed due the reasons mentioned on the cic website. However, they try to do best to process but due to lack of capacity at different embassies and consulates the processing time differs.

Also, what I have seen is like mid year they receive more no of applications. You might hear from them somewhere around November.

Fingers crossed.

Cheers bro
