    How can visitors get work permit without leaving Canada - new temporary policy Aug 25

    One can apply for a work permit at any time. The announcement on Aug 25 simply said that one won't have to leave the country then come back to obtain the work permit itself. Since I applied before Aug 25, I wasn't eligible for that and had to go to the border to obtain my work permit.

    I did what poppedpluto suggested - see their post from page 27-28. I uploaded the letter requesting expedition from employer, on company letterhead, via webform. I never got any reply. There's no way to tell if it helped speed things up, but no harm in trying.

    Processing time for ICT work permit

    My partner lives in Canada. But you can ask your employer to do this for you - technically, anyone living in Canada can do it. You just need to fill out and sign a representative form to authorize them to ask on your behalf.

We've contacted multiple MPs, called, order notes, submitted multiple webforms, etc. etc. all for nothing. Hilarious enough, this week when...
