Yeah, it is disgusting that each week the processing time keeps increasing one more week. From where did you apply?
Hello guys, I accepted a postdoc offer from a Canadian university and just sent my signed offer letter back to HR. I plan to apply for the work visa from the United States. I am a little confused by the processing time required for work visa applications from U.S One source says that the time needed is about 8 weeks for the work visa application from the U.S., and another which is GSS avenue would take approximately 5 months for applications from overseas. Which source of information is more reliable? I am thinking we might create a WhatsApp group or something similar that we can share updates freely. Thanks.
Hi Guys

Hi
1. You don't have a choice, you need a new TRV. There is no 1 time entry visas.
Guys, I have applied for a postdoc work permit from Italy too. The processing time on the website is 7 weeks. Anyway, it has been 6 weeks and no news yet. My question is, why when I contact the embassy they reply that your application is being reviewed by an office inside Canada? And I have to ask questions through the web form. In this case, which processing time applies to my application? the one from Italy or inside Canada (I am not in Canada)? I appreciate your comments in this regard.

Hi, I applied for an LMIA exempt work permit from India (postdoctoral research associate) on 15th Feb 2022. The biometric and medical were updated on 22nd Feb and 4th March, respectively. After that there was complete silence from IRCC. I then contacted the IRCC official twitter handle on 5th April. They replied that they do not respond via twitter for case specific queries. However, the concerned person also said that IRCC is right now prioritizing citizenship grant applications from Ukraine, and hence it may take a bit longer for normal applications to reach a decision. So I stopped checking my account for a few days. However, when I logged into my account on 17th April, there was the update of "We are revieiwing whether you meet eligibility requirements". I don't know exactly on which date this was updated, but going through the messages in this thread, I am hoping for a decision in the next 10 days or so. Secondly, I have one minor query from the users in this particular thread. I have noticed that both, the biometric letter and the medical exam form message was sent to me late at night. Does this mean that even if my case is being handled by IRCC office in India, I would always receive email notification in Canada work hour time? Is this the case with others also?
I submitted my application on 2021-11-17 and got it approved on 2022-01-12, two days after calling them, though they always say that calling them doesn't speed up the processing. I explained that my application was very simple and that it should not have taken long to review. Maybe that helped.
