hi, i did it by paper. the approximate processing times should be 55 days but i'm on my 65th today

Then if they still do not have it in their records are u sure it reached them? Try to make sure the package reached them, coz once it is reached it goes into the records in three weeks and then they start processing

i'm sorry but i'm a little bit confused. do you mean when i called the customer service and they said its not yet on their record ,my application might not yet received? but how is that when they asked for my information verification and my id ,my profile appeared on their data?thanks so much ..

Hi I applied for a work permit under live in caregiver from within Canada October 6th. when you say you called customer service where did you call? Just getting an idea on ho long mine will take. i mailed it to the New York Vac. received an email on the 6th with a tracking number and when i do that its says received and under consideration. i'm assuming you have that so I'm just confused by what they mean not on their record

yeah mailed my application to the new oAC. Did your 67 days include weekends or is that just work days? congrats as well

weekend is excluded on my counting. my agency told me that its a case to case basis. usually only one officer per applicant processes the package. cause of delay might because of vacation of the officer.
