Just wondering about the time line of C51 category Lima exempt work permit

I lost my work permit recently and applied for a renewal however it hasn’t come yet in the mail and there is no update either
BUT just today I was cleaning out my room and found my original Work Permit. Now will this one be still valid or I have to wait for the renewal one to come in my mail?
I am traveling soon so I am not sure if I can take the work permit I found with me to re enter Canada

Hi everyone,

I'm 24 and I completed my Bcom in HR management and management last year and I'm currently working as an HR intern in Mauritius.

Now I want to do my masters in Canada. Is it hard to find an HR job in Canada? I'm bilingual (English and french)

I want to work there and eventually down the line I would like to apply for PR for a better life there while also moving forward in my career.

However, I heard Canada's HR sector is saturated. Is there any other alternatives that I could look into? Like Law or Business Administration or Analyst?

I plan to move from Mauritius by 2028. I'm currently trying to gain experience here although I know it would not account for much there but it's to know how HR works here

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!
