work permit and permanent resident

[cehl]

Hi everyone,

I sent my application on October 20, 2013, by sponsorship. We sent work permit and Permanent resident at the same time. So it is gonna be almost 1 year and I can't work, get my drive license nothing because they don't even open my file, at least I would like my work permit. Any suggestion should I apply for my work permit again separately?

thanks,

Assuming you applied for PR using the inland / within Canada process, you won't receive your work permit until you have first stage approval. First stage approval is currently taking 13 months:

This means it will be November or December before you hear anything.

There is no point applying for the work permit again. This won't accomplish anything.

OK, thank you very much
