Good day, does anyone of you receive this kind of mail from IRCC??

Please attach this letter to your present work permit Number (UCI number) as proof that you are authorized to continue working with the same conditions (ie: employer and occupation) until August 24, 2021 or until a decision is made on your application, whichever is first. This extended period of work is authorized as per subsection 186(u) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations. If you leave Canada before a decision is made on your application, you will no longer be authorized to continue working.

will it take longer for the final decision? Thanks

Even with this kind of letter, there’s a chance that they will make their final decision within 15 days? Thankyou
If you have already attached a letter with your application then, yes, that can be approved in 15 days. But if you send the letter through web form then it might take more than 15 days.

Hello everyone,
I applied on April 15 with restoration, and I had a visitor record application in progress.
Both my application got approved today on April 28.
FYI, I found out by loging in and checking my account frequently, but so far I haven’t received any notification email about my application status update which is weird.

Good luck.
Hope everyone will get the approval soon.

Cheers

I applied on April 15th(midnight to 16th). I have everything to be ready for the new program, but work permit.
I also have a visitor record application in progress(200 days so far). However, I haven’t applied with restoration because I have implied status(visitor record) and I explained it in the letter.
Hope I will get approval this week, so I can start working on next Monday.

I applied for my work permit application without a letter and after that no updates for two months. When I realize that I forgot to submit a letter, I did it through a web form and finally got approved last week.

Hi, does a valid job offer only means LMIA jobs? What if I am not under LMIA? is it no considered as job offer? Thanks

Hi, IRCC also made a mistake in my application. I got approved, but got approved under a wrong category. It was at the beginning of March, I sent a webform back then and got a response that my request was transferred to a different department. Until now I haven’t heard back, so I didn’t want to wait longer and consulted a lawyer, he said that if IRCC made a mistake I must re-apply :( kind of unfair to re-pay the processing fees, but I ended up reapplying today.
Hope it will help to make the decision
Thanks for your reply! May I know if you get any update as of now on your application regarding the work permit extension.
