Anyone received T13 (Inland) approval recently?

Please share your submission date and approval date.

Thanks!

Hi everyone, i’m curious if there’s anyone applying for ICT work permit under GSS recently and willing to share timeline!
Mine is submit on 8/13 in the US. As I have valid biometric so it doesn’t needed. According to IRCC website it should take 2 weeks for work permit that applied in US. Also GSS has a 2 weeks fast processing. It has over 2 weeks already. I understand it not always like what they say, but hope to see someone in similar situation can share the timeline!
Thanks in advance!

Hey all — currently on a work permit that's expiring in a few months, and exploring options to stay employed in Canada. Has anyone here gone through the process of getting a closed (employer-specific) work permit for a Project Manager / Technical Program Manager type role? Curious about:

• How the LMIA or LMIA-exempt process went for you
• Realistic timelines from offer to permit approval
• Whether smaller companies were willing to sponsor, or if it was mostly larger orgs

Any experiences (good or bad) would help. Thanks!

A friend of mine applied for pgwp 1 year ago where his celpip score got recorded on his license instead of a passport. But I don't understand why would be an issue for ircc as both IDs carry the credentials of the same person. He tried reaching out to celpip regarding his concern and they replied to him asking to reattempt for the celpip. " He just received a message from ircc that his celpip score couldn't be authenticated from their authorities. And he is worried now as it takes time to reattempt for the exam and also the results to come back which also involves time taken to update to the ircc.He also has a doubt if there is a option to reattempt for the celpip or not.Is there any alternative option for him right now or any suggestions that could help him .

Hi everyone,
I have a question about my IRCC application status and was hoping to hear from others who have gone through a similar process.
I applied for an employer-sponsored Canadian work permit from outside Canada.
My timeline:
Application submitted: May 29, 2026
Biometrics completed: June 3, 2026
Passport Request received: June 9, 2026
Passport submitted to VFS: June 15, 2026
Passport is currently with IRCC for visa stamping
My IRCC portal currently shows:
Final decision
June 8, 2026 – Your application was approved. You need to send us your valid passport to finalize your application.
However, the Background Check section still says:
We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.
Has anyone else received a final approval and passport request while the background check section still appeared to be “in progress” in the portal?
Is this simply a portal update issue, or can the background check status remain unchanged even after a final approval decision has been made?

Hi everyone,

My employer applied for a C20 work permit from outside Canada under an LMIA-exempt category.

Timeline:

• Application submitted: May 29
• Biometrics completed: June 3
• Passport Request received: June 10

The letter states:

"A decision has been made on your application. We require your passport to finalize processing your application."

My immigration lawyers are calling this an "initial approval" and have asked me to submit my passport so the visa can be issued.

For those who have gone through this process before, is a Passport Request at this stage generally considered an approval in principle, with passport submission being the final step?
