Work permit delay in visa processing

[skd46443]

Application submitted on 3rd September.l have seen 4 ghost updates from last month till date before my eligibility changed today.what do you think?
No medicals yet.

I guess you should first get medical update then Biometric Validation letter and then decision will follow. now talking about timeline it really depends from which country you have applied from.

October 26th.

 

[Arjun2304]

October 26th.

Does that mean Visa period will start from the day application gets approved irrespective of the PPR request . let say one year visa will expire on october 26th?

Yes.

Yes.

This is not true. Work permit validity starts the day you land and they issue you actual permit. For now they will only issue you LOA or something and stamp on the passport.

 

[Arjun2304]

Yes.

ok thats strange ,you lost 3 month in this glitch.

This is not true. Work permit validity starts the day you land and they issue you actual permit. For now they will only issue you LOA or something and stamp on the passport.

ok Based on that logic visa will expire earlier then work permit .

If your work permit application is approved
You’ll get an approval letter that says you’re allowed to work in Canada. This letter is called the port of entry letter of introduction.

You should bring this letter with you when you travel to Canada and present it at the port of entry. This letter is not your work permit.

You’ll only get your work permit at the port of entry the day you arrive in Canada.

Visa is TRV (entry/exit) purposes and work permit gets issued to you at the port of entry. w.r.t validity its same for both types.
