This is so ridiculous. Once they moved the office to Edmonton the processing time increased a lot! But they promised to reduce the time and it was one of the main points they pushed against closing CPC Vergeville.

My friend applied to change the employer on WP in June 13. Now she has no job and just waiting for a new WP.
Do they even realize how hard is just to be in Canada for 3-4 months without a job waiting for a new WP? This timeline has to me no more than 2 weeks!

Why every other countries can process application within a week and Canada takes months? I am speechless.

What do you mean showing on processing?

When did you apply? Is it an extension of WP with the same employer or what?

My friend applied to change the employer inland. She has a valid WP until next year but doesn’t work anymore for the employer. The timeline is crazy! How do they want people to survive without a job here just waiting for 3-4 months?!?!
