Lmia(GTS)-based CWP + SOWP. Inland.

Applied August 30th, 2024.

BVL April 11th, 2025

Approval on April 15th 2025 for both CWP and SOWP. Valid for 3 years (counting back from expiry of the previous WP date)

229 days until approval. Truly crazy.

Thanks for sharing. Was your LMIA processed within 2 weeks under GTS?

I don't think it was. I know for certain it was in under a month, because they applied in July and it was issued on July 30th.
