WP Reconsideration: Got IRCC Standard Acknowledgment Email – Anyone with Similar Experience & Outcomes?

[Bubu12]

Hi everyone,

I’m reaching out to see if any of you have had a similar experience with IRCC work permit (WP) reconsideration, as I’m feeling a bit stuck and hoping to get some real-world insights.

Let me start with a quick overview of my situation:

• Application Type: Canada Work Permit (WP)
• Key Timeline:
  1. My initial WP application was refused, with the refusal letter documented as IMM0276 in the system (dated Dec 8, 2025).
  2. I submitted a reconsideration request to IRCC on Dec 17, 2025.
  3. On Dec 19, 2025, I received an official acknowledgment email from the Migration Section of the Canadian Embassy – the content is exactly the standard template as follows:

Thank you for contacting the Migration Section of the Embassy of Canada.

This is to acknowledge receipt of your email requesting a reconsideration or a review of the decision on your application. Please be aware that a reconsideration of a decision only occurs when the circumstances are justified. An applicant's dissatisfaction or disagreement with the decision does not by itself qualify as a reason to reconsider. If you have additional information that was not included in your original application, you may submit a new application.

Please be advised that the request has been forwarded to the responsible officer for review. You will receive a notification only if there is a change to the decision. If there is no change to the decision, you will not receive further communication.

Do not resend any email related to the same query, as this may delay your current request.

We trust this information will be of assistance.

1. The application tracker showed a last update on Dec 22, 2025, which I confirmed was just the system assigning my case to an officer – my GCKey account has had no changes at all since then.

My Questions for You All:​

1. Has anyone here received the exact same IRCC reconsideration acknowledgment email? What was your final outcome (approved/rejected/no response)?
2. How long did you wait to get a final decision (if any) after receiving this email?
3. IRCC mentioned "submit a new application if you have additional info" – if I prepare a new application now, will it conflict with my ongoing reconsideration request?
4. Anyone knowns IRCC Beijing Officer?

I’d really appreciate any shared experiences, tips, or advice from those who’ve been through this. This wait is so stressful, and real applicant stories are way more helpful than generic official guidelines.

Thank you so much in advance for your help!

Best regards,

A Stressed WP Applicant

1. This is a standard email for anyone requesting reconsideration. Isn’t related to possible outcome.
2 Reconsideration is an informal process with no timeline. Could take many months for a response.
3. Pick one or the other.

I have seen many people receive manual responses regarding reconsideration online, no two of which are the same. I have also asked my RCIC to retrieve the GCMS notes in preparation for re-submission. My application is for an ICT work permit, and I fully meet the criteria set out in C62. I am utterly confused as to why my application was rejected.
