My PR application was submitted in November 2021 through PNP EE and my PGWP expired in June 2022.
I submitted my Bridge open work permit on March 8th, 2022 and it has not been processed/reviewed yet. There was even no ghost update. It has been 176 days since I submitted and paid my application fee, and the estimated processing time for a work permit is 166 days which is updated on September 6th.
I called IRCC and the representative checked my case and told me everything is good, no holding condition, no document required and I should just keep waiting.
However, it has been so long and I can't renew my provincial health care because I don't have a work permit.
Does CIC still work on Bridge open work permit or not? Do they just postpone the BOWP application and let the applicants wait till a decision is made on their PR application?
Will appreciate it if anyone can share their knowledge/intel about what is going on.
Thank you.
