Need Help/Advice please

[MMCanada2014]

Hi,

I have applied for temp work permit visa at Beirut VAC on 10-Apr-2014. According to the visa office website and emails and according to the VAC it should take in average 4 weeks (20 working days). Now I am into the 38th working day and still no update. I have emailed the VO 10 days back and they said it's still under assesment.

Anyone know what could be the reason for such big deviation from the average processing time?

Note: I am Syrian, and I have applied for open work permit for my wife and TRV for my son too. We have my employer's lawyer who took care of all the documents/forms.

Thank for your help

There is nothing special about your case. Canadian Immigration is a mess, 'average' time here doesn't really mean anything. (Sorry to say that).

If your employer's lawyer asks them, instead of you, that may help.

Thanks for the reply. He already did and he informed me yesterday that they have positively assessed my application but they are conduction background check right now. God knows how much time it will take.
