2025 August Work Permit Timeline from the US

[raindances]

I submitted my application on Aug 6 and am qualified for 2-week GSS fast processing.
It's been over three weeks and no progress has been made on the portal.

The processing for work permit in the US was posted at 3 weeks until yesterday when it was updated to 4 weeks.

I've seen two applicants back in June this year who got their approval within 10 days, so I started to wonder if my wait time is still within normal range.

Could you share your timeline if you've applied for work permit recently?

Thank you!

Depends on where you have lived and citizenship because immigration/security checks can take a long time. Not much to do but wait.

What is the NOC and wage.

Huge variability in processing times for GSS from a few weeks to months. Supposed to be 2 weeks but in reality almost never 2 weeks just faster than general WP processing. Assume you are not a US citizen.
