Hellup said:Hi ive applied online for my temporary workers permit. The time for processing is 3 months by mail I believe (according to cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/temp/workers.asp). Will online be faster or the same than three months?
Hellup said:Yeah that's what I expected too.....
but if you look at times IN canada the paper vs online are 30 to 40 days faster! so i hoped that's the case for applications submitted outside of canada too.
The three months is that accurate? is that an average? because i need it to be here in 2 months, i didnt need an lmo (this is what the embassy told me after reading my invitation letter).
I don't need a TRV
i've read something about that but did not want to take any chances. And now ive already paid for one that's being processed. I just hope it's here in 2 months instead of 3 (or can they do it with the papers I've already sent to the embassy (ONLINE!!!) at the canadian border if I give my application number?)fkl said:Those from inside Canada don't really apply. Certainly it doesn't make a 30-40 day difference for an application submitted outside of Canada - even that is just a case with most of the applicants and you can never tell for sure how long a specific case would take.
The time they quote is basically the average time taken for 80% of the applications that they processed in the last quarter / year depending upon when they update.
If you don't need a TRV and LMO, then probably you are eligible to apply for work permit at the port of entry.
