Hi. In late August I was approved for an inland IEC participation. Luckily, the digital approval letter lets me keep my job, but I'm waiting on the physical permit to do basically anything else.
It's been ten weeks and I still don't have it. At the six weeks mark I called to request a reprint as you are meant to, but while there is technically still two weeks on the clock for the new one, it really does look like that one is also lost in transit.
By luck, I moved apartments on the day I requested the second attempt, so I thought switching to the new address would fix it, but it hasn't. I am concerned they never actually sent the new permit out, because when I checked my portal, the new document is listed as invalid and the old one as valid. Because of this, I phoned IRCC a week ago to make sure the second mailing attempt actually happened. They confirmed it did, and confirmed it was mailed to the correct new address, but then they told me it is the new permit that it valid, which doesn't match what I see in the portal.
After this IEC participation I want to do the Atlantic Immigration Program, and have an employer ready to sponsor me. But this requires you to upload your permit, so I'm blocked on that front, as I'm also blocked on renewing my SIN and health card.
The anxiety is honestly consuming me, as I'm starting to panic that it will literally never arrive and I will lose my future in Canada over a mailing issue.
I will obviously need to wait two weeks to make a third attempt, but what should I do? I have no reason to believe the third one will suddenly work now. Has anyone ever seen this repeated mailing roadblock? How did you resolve it?
