Nothing yet! I already have visitor visa and I have been working in Canada before.....I have no idea how they are processing work permits. Are they processing based on the their queue or they are selecting simple cases first?! Any idea?

Hi all, I haven't posted on here previously but I have read through threads to get an idea of how long permits typically take. Just for info, I had my work permit approved last night (on a sunday surprisingly) for a postdoc (research fellow). I'm from the UK and completed my biometrics on November 9th 2021. My application went straight from "We are processing your background check" to approved. Good luck to you all!

Thanks a lot for your input. How long did it take to go from processing your application to background check? mine is still "we are processing your application".

Honestly, I can't quite remember when this changed. I only noticed that the background check was under review about a week and a half ago. The unusual thing is that now my permit is approved that it says that the background check was completed the same day as my biometrics (November 29th).

I forgot to mention that I submitted a police check before I did my biometrics via webform to try to speed things up.

Thanks a lot! Very useful information.
