Hi ,

Yes I applied in May of 2024 and I haven’t received my WP as yet . A few weeks ago I did get an email stating “Interim work authorization”

Exactly two years ago I submitted my PR online and last update was Feb 2024 receiving eligibility and pre arrival email. WTF IRCC employees are doing?

I have a similar situation. The portal still says waiting for eligibility. But, we received the eligibility letter on Aug 2024. I'm waiting for GCMS notes requested Feb 13.

I think is the final stage of the process , such as medical validity and security checks has been cleared .

Me too! I applied to renew my work permit in August 2024 and it's still showing in the GCKey that the final decision is being processed. I got the GCMS notes and it's showing the status as Open and the centre is CTD Edmonton. Shows criminality 1 is In Progress.
