Work Permit Extension (August and Sept applicants)
- Thread starter roman_emperor08
- Start date
For online applications they are now working on applications submitted on September 8. I have not received anything. Tried calling - the machine answer is yes we received your application on September 4, yes we are working on it. That's it.
I just called again and got to talk to an agent. I was lucky to have a nice and friendly one. My extension HAS BEEN APPROVED!!!!!!! He said that for some reason it has not been shown in my online account and was also not mailed to me, but he promised to fix it right away!!!! AND!!!!! unbelievable news!!! I applied for only a short extension and was super concerned that because of this delay my extension would be too short and I would have to apply for another one right away. BUT! My new extension is valid till January 2018! I still can't believe it, it's 2 years!!!! My employer won't keep me for this long, but this just solves 99% of my problems! Now I can apply for PR and not worry that I might end up on an implied status!!!!
Did you also call them or did it show up in your account? Mine still says open decision not started!roman_emperor08 said:

He said it's valid till January 2018. Still hard to believe it's possible.roman_emperor08 said:
Now it updated and I got the PDF letter saying its been approved. Now just have to wait for the hard copy. As long as I have the hard copy before March 8, all is golden.rgree said:
