This is a thread on GSS for high skilled workers. No such thing as permanent work permit. Security job is not skilled.

Apply for jobs on Canadian job sites like Indeed. You need a job offer and your employer needs to file for and pay $1k for a LMIA. The LMIA shows that no Canadian or PR could be hired, only you. Then with LMIA, you apply for a closed work permit. For the permit, you show that you are experienced to do the job.

You have no prospect of PR or even obtaining a temporary work permit based that occupation. It's an easy, unskilled job that even my mother could do.

Has anyone applied for work permit from Dubai with GSS recently? I'm planning to start my LMIA exempt workpermit application which also qualifies under GSS. Current timelines shows 39 weeks but the company lawyer in Canada says with GSS it would be 8 to 13 weeks. Anyone who can weigh in on that please. Thanks.

What are your views on this? Is it worth of giving a try or does raising a webform make any negative impact on my profile??

I am trying to gather some idea on the timelines for the Work Permit Processing.

Would really appreciate if I can get some guidance. How long will it take?

Thanks.
