post-doc researcher work permit
- Thread starter tutsuk
- Start date
Hello everyone,
I hope all are doing well.
Actually, I have applied for a Canadian work permit (from India) as I received an LMIA exemption in the C44 category which is related to PostDoc. I submitted my file on 21st January and my anticipated start date of PostDoc is 1st February 2022.
Kindly can anybody suggest how long it will take for a visa in the current pandemic situation? If anybody has recently received a visa/work permit can he/she please share his experience? Thanks in advance and Regards.

Thanks and Regards for your prompt response.
Yes, it is too long a time that even my PostDoc duration will expire. Is it possible that seeing such an elongated time my employer can cancel my PostDoc position? Have you ever heard of a similar case?
Unfortunately they (PIs) will revoke the postdoc offer letters due to prolonged visa processing time! They cannot wait for one year, that is kind of logical! However, the IRCC is super irresponsible for postdoc and researchers visa who are really going to contribute to the scientific community of Canada, rather than visitor or other categories! It's a mess at the moment!
Thanks a lot bro for your time and briefing things in such a nice manner. Regards
they announced that they are finalizing GSS cases who applied between 10 to 16th October! you can also check it via this link: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/check-status.html
Actually it is really silly for GSS cases who supposed to be processed in two weeks! It means you need to wait 3 month probably to get your case processed!
Since most people work permit will soon expire they should process application fast but rather increasing the processing time so annoying
You will automatically fall into that category based on your answers to the form. However, it will way way longer than two weeks due to Covid pandemic!
