Hi All,

Thanks for taking out the time to go through this post! I was curious to know if anyone on the group is also experiencing a similar situation as mine.

I and my family are currently in Australia. My LMIA (filed by my US-based employer via a Canadian Law Firm) was approved in Oct 2018 and the Work Permit application (GTS) was submitted on Oct 30th.

We are 2 days shy of 5 weeks now and still awaiting the approval.

As per the official website (https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/temporary-residents/foreign-workers/two-week-processing.html) - the processing time for GTS applications is 2 weeks.

However, since I am currently based in Australia, I checked up the regular processing time (non-GTS) from here (https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/check-processing-times.html) and it shows up as 7 weeks (it was 5 weeks a few days ago).

1. What could be the reason for the delay?
2. Which processing time will apply in my case?
3. Is it possible that my application might be mistakenly getting processed as a non-GTS application via the Sydney office?
3. Is anyone else on the forum also experiencing a similar situation and delays?

Thanks!
