Hi. I just want to ask about my application. My husband and I applied from Japan. He is a Japanese, I'm a non-Japanese. He applied for an employer specific work permit, while an open work permit for me. We applied on July 14. His application got approved on August 5. Mine is still processing. May I ask for an idea how long it will take for mine to have a decision? Here's what I see in the IRCC account.

Hi,

Me and spouse are also starting with our work permit applications. Could you please help me clarify few questions :

1. If we can apply for my employer specific work permit and my spouse open work permit together ?
2. For the primary application, was the work permit LMIA based, if yes how much time it took to get the LMIA approval ?
3. Also did you hear anything on your application ?

Would really appreciate your response!
Thanks!
