Has anyone got a response for Open Work Permit from outside Canada lately?
How long did you wait for the response?

Hi Nikhil,
I think we are sailing in the same boat. I have also my Bio metrics done on 1st Week of March and then Medical test done on 6th June 2020. And there is no update on status thereafter. I have also an LMIA approved job offer.
Have you received PPR?

Hello, After my employer received positive LMIA, I applied for work permit through a consultant in June 2019 and done my biometric. After 7 months I called for an interview in February 10, 2020. After interview they told me that they will assess my case and make their decision in 2 weeks but it's September 2020 now haven't received any response.

Finally i can share my timeline
First applied in sept-13 for extention of spouse open workm permit and got rejection on dec-22 coz of some issue in my spouse employer letter
Reapplied for restoration on 22- january for restoration and work permit with new employer letter of my wife. Raised web form every 2 week and make lot of alls to customer care but got same answer every time that you have to wait.
But i request for Gcms note on 22 july may be that was a turning point and my file goes in reviewing state on 28th of july and got my GCMS note reply on 30 july but there was no special reply in gcms not but i got my Wp on 6 aug. approx 1 week after my file goes in reviewing your eligibility state. Now am waiting for the hard copy
It was a most crucial time with no work for approx 7 months and with no medical insurance in this panadamic time. Really frustrated with waiting time. Dont know wht it took 7 months for restoration? But at last got a good news.
Praying everyone got their decisions soon with a good news
Can you tell me how to request for GCMS? I am stuck as well... Applied in January 19th for my work permit extention, and still waiting.
