Hey. A friend applied to her WP with an LMIA December last year. Still no response. I applied at the same time and got my WP April this year.
We both work at the same workplace.

Can you post your timeline please ?
Sure! The application was made through an Agency my employer works with. Job is a Housekeeping Supervisor.
1. End of July, 2019 - paperwork started.
2. Mid October, 2019 - application for LMIA started.
3. Second week of December, 2019 - LMIA approved. Application for WP started.
4. Work Permit was approved on April 8, 2020.

I hope it helps!

That's the thing. We both work for the same employer, same position, and used the same agency. We applied both in December for the WP. I don't know anything else, except that the agency tells her she needs to keep waiting because everything is getting delayed and affected by the Covid-19 situation.

IRCC usually takes 3-4 months in processing WP apps, due to covid things can delay further..
Hope this helps
