Success: Work Permits (15 days only)
Many clients who come to CIL have two (2) requests: 1. positive results; and, 2. fast processing time. We know that we give our clients the best chance at a positive decision. By law, we cannot guarantee positive results. For the 2nd request, we cannot claim that our applications are processed faster; however, it seems clear from our files that we get fast results.
Work Permit Application Summary
Today, we can share 2 Work Permit applications that were approved in only 15 days. Here is a summary:
- SEP 2024 Client requested our services for two (2) Open Work Permit (OWP) applications;
- SEP 2024 Prepared supplementary document checklist, collected and reviewed documents;
- SEP 2024 Reviewed full package, submitted OWP applications;
- SEP 2024 Both OWP applications Approved in 15 days;
- OCT 2024 Open Work Permits arrived.
Congratulations to our clients. They have not been able to work while they were out of status. They have been suffering while waiting to get their work permits. The Team at CIL made this file a priority as we know how important it is for this family to pay their bills.
Average processing times for a Work Permit from inside Canada is 130 days. This figure is based on all the applications submitted to IRCC and it is regularly updated on the IRCC website. When we meet clients, we regularly quote the average times posted by the government and we cannot guarantee faster processing. That said, if you look at our application history, it seems our temporary document applications as well as our permanent resident applications are processed much faster than average. In this case, for example, our WP applications were approved much (much!) quicker than the average applications submitted to CPC Edmonton.
Again, we have to stress that we cannot guarantee that new clients will get a Work Permit within 15 days.
How to get Fast Processing?
The simple answer to this question is to contact CIL and we can help you with the application. As we have said on CBC News and in many other interviews, the decision to hire a representative is the most important decision you will make.
If you decide not to contact our office for help, here are our top 3 points to get fast processing:
- Hire a professional
