Hi All.

Creating this thread to hear from people who have applied for work permit after June01 and the processing times after the work permit rule change.

Status of my application:
I submitted the application on 31st May, but decision hasn't been made yet.
Not able to reach call centre either at any time of the day.

@stevepage2 can I know when you applied ?

Rodney Jerome

@ashucsrana please update in case you receive it

Gathering85
The same with you. 31st of May applied,no decision yet. Have you been granted already?
ashucsrana
I have not received decision yet. But case officer has put a query on my case demanding for an employment contract(28July)
My employer has submitted the same proactively.

how much time does the case officer takes to go back and relook on cases where additional information has been asked? Any idea?

@sjbbt have you got it now and the job description does it matter?
Because I saw many IT guys getting after 10 days.

@Moha Hassan25

No reply till now.
I am not fast track and don't think my future employer is certified.

@ashucsrana still no answer to me. What about your work permit?

Guest6452
@Gathering85

Hi All.


I got my decision on 18 August.

There was some delay because my case officer again went on 2 weeks of vacation.

Did anyone receive any updates on their case?


My company applied on May 15th, and still no answer from MV. Initially, they said 5-6 weeks. That estimate has been long gone by now, and now I am 11.5 weeks since I first applied. The fast track company updated their estimate to say 10-12 weeks, but from the looks of it, it seems that it may take a bit longer than that.


I'll post here once I receive an update.
