When I checked on CIC processing times for Bangladesh Work permit, it has changed from 9 weeks to 8 weeks yet I hear that a few February applicants did not receive any updates yet. Any idea? Why would they say 8 weeks then?

Hello All,

My wife is doing her MBA in Montreal. I am planning to apply for SOWP for myself. I am currently working in the US.

I am not well versed in French. Is it a requirement to get the CAQ?

Can I apply for any other state(say Ontario) in my form?

Thanks in advance,
Gks

Processing time is now 12 weeks for SOWP from India. Well done CIC, well done!

I don't think you need to need to get CAQ. But I am quite sure that you also need to apply in Quebec only, so cannot apply else where.

Hey. It is funny because for us, in Bangladesh, it became 8 weeks from 14 weeks. I am really not getting it.

Its the average for all kinds of work permits. open, lmia based closed permits, sowp.... sowp has least priority, and takes more time to verify all the docs.

CIC processing time just shows the average time of the cases, it depends and varies from case to case
