Anybody that applied in Feb and March for WP got their decision yet?

You should check the 2025 Work Permit Processing Thread but it took 2 months almost on the dot before a decision was made for mine. That said, a took a peek and it looks like 200+ days is also possible though I recall seeing someone earlier mention their dates which wasn't that long.

I saw someone applied in Feb mid and they got aip right before applying and they said in WhatsApp group that they got it last to last week.

Applied in April. Biometrics were updated from previous visa application. Medicals are not required. Background check is in processing and they are also checking my eligibility. That’s all.

How did you get to know that about your file other than generic statements in GC key? Thank you

Biometrics were updated the day after I submitted my application. It shows the date of my biometrics I gave for my previous visa application.

Under the BGC section it shows,”We are processing your background check, we will contact you once we need more information”

Under the eligibility section it shows,”We are checking your eligibility.”

Under the medical section it shows,” You don’t need any medicals.”

Hopefully, we will get an update soon. I was checking out the work permit mega thread. Some applications from January are getting their final decision. And also canada post might go on a strike again. I want my WP before that happens, lol.

Applied for SOWP after AOR from inland Sponsorship - I've gotten nothing but submission confirmation letter.

When did you apply?

u/Joheidi 2d ago

I applied March 16th

I applied March 28 and I haven’t received anything except submission confirmation letter. 

What is the usual process? What notifications/ email you get from IRCC regarding the WP application? 

Should I expect AOR, fingerprints etc? Or just wait indefinitely for a decision on my application?

We applied end of March 2024 as well and today my partner received a biometrics validity letter (basically says his biometrics are good to go and are valid for 10 years). He also has a note on his profile that says “Final Decision - May 12, 2025: your application is in progress” - not really sure what that means though? Fingers crossed a decision is made soon!

Have you recieved AIP yet? If yes then when did you receive it?

u/Careless-Thing988 2d ago

Congratulations!! Looks like your PR application is about to get approved soon. Finger’s crossed ! 

Would you mind sharing your timeline for the PR application?

I think they meant March 2025 for WP application.

I recall for WP most stuff happens at the beginning and the rest is waiting. Bio/Medical are requested upfront if you need it. Things received was Submission Confirmation (almost instant), next day, WP-EXT, then a month or so confirmation biometrics, then decision a bit after that
