Hi all. My company is about to apply for GSS work permit from India under ICT. I have already given biometrics. Any idea what the current timelines are? Thanks

Online status of eligibility won’t change till final approval.

It’s not an automated update. Congratulations, this is big and you’re much closer to PPR now.

Amazing stuff

CEC Outland is more or less on par with FSW. They have till now only been prioritizing CEC inland

It won’t fast track your file, because you are still FSW.

It’s only fair that they get their approvals first :)

Not even a drizzle

Its really not speculation, IRCC did release an internal memo stating their plan to bulk process outland applications once travel restrictions are removed

That's not so accurate, I'm non US and VO is Ottawa

FSW needs to move NOW.

I hope to see some movement in September, I guess first issue to tackle will be remedicals/extension. If that gets out of the way we can be more hopeful

Same here.

No this is medicals expiry. You’ll have to call them or see notes to check whether they will extend or send a remedical request

My eligibility is mentioned passed in the assessments section, and in the notes it is mentioned passed by processing agent. So it’s a recommended pass until officer approves it

You’re quite right but COVID cases here are never going to “fall” to “acceptable” levels as vaccination has a long way to go, nor will there be another big lockdown. They have shut direct routes, asking for double vaccinations and negative tests. That should be enough. If the EU can open itself...

I’ve got this same “valid” reply before. They like to mess with us, my security hadn’t started 8 months back and hasn’t started now either. You should trust your gcms notes only, not webform responses.

Security has a shelf life like medicals. For most people it’s a short and less time consuming step (as against eligibility) so yes I guess they would do it only when they are absolutely ready. Until now travel restrictions were a factor but now unfortunately no idea what’s delaying them

I dont think they filter applications out by country of residence. If borders open then people can fly indirectly as well, its dependent on them deciding when to start clearing the backlog
