Hi All,

Applied on 31 Jan 2021
Work permit approved 22 Feb 2021
Expiry Date 20 August 2022
I applied on 1st Feb along with restoration . No change in my status yet.

Is biometrics mandatory? as I read somewhere that due to COVID Inland applicants are being exempted.

My biometrics was completed last year before Covid. Not sure about the new rules. Let’s hope you would receive a response this week :) Bdw few people in this thread here applied for restoration around 27 Jan and they received their work permit. Fingers crossed :)

Yeah.. called CIC and they mentioned it’s not required for inland applicants.

It says “your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start reviewing your eligibility.”

That's what they will tell you if your application is in process. I think as per the threads in seeing in this forum, it's totally depends on the VO. Just needs to be patient.

I have a question regarding spousal work permit. I’m going to apply for spousal work permit once I receive mine. Is it required to attach 3 pay slips as well along with my offer letter? Or only offer letter would be enough?
