ICT GSS APPROVED and Passport Request Letter received. See below for timeline:

- Sent letter on August 14th to IRCC at email: IRCC.COVID-TravelExemptions-Exemptionsdevoyage-COVID.IRCC@cic.gc.ca on Employer Letterhead and signed by Employer to expedite application due to critical nature of role in Canada
- Application Approved on August 18th (2 business days after sending employer letter) and received passport request letter

Hi, My work permit LIMIA Exempt ICT role 2174 was submitted on 29th June from US for Toronto location. Bio-metrics done on 14th July at US . Still awaiting for approval. Anybody who has applied work permit in same role from US in last 3-4 months got approval? I am looking for idea how long would it can take for my case. For My colleague ICT Work Permit was applied for different Canadian Province on 5th June from US in same role and got approval 25 July and bio-metrics was done on 17th July. Does anyone know, are approvals coming for people whose case filled 3 months back? Looking for your kind reply.

It's BC , not sure logic behind giving approvals. When was your filled and for which province and from which country it was applied?. I am still waiting for approval.
