Processing time for Global Talent stream application

[Arkapravo]

Hi all,
I applied for a work permit from USA. It was filed pursuant to an approved LMIA under the Global Talent Stream. I have done my biometric on July. Can anyone tell me when can I expect some result?

I'm in the same situation. LMIA got approved and work permit got filed on Oct 12th. Biometrics got done the next day. Waiting to hear. Do you know whats the current processing time for GTS?

1) lmia is usually valid for 6 months (it was extended to 9 months due to covid but i dont think it applies any more).

if the approved lmia is for dual intent category ( WP + PR) then you can claim the points, provided you have enough points for a direct ITA.

Also keep in mind that when you submit your PR application LMIA should still be valid.

Thank you for the reply.
But how will i get to know if my lmia is dual intent or not. Will it be mentioned on the lmia? Coz currently it says gts category

Hi @Raghav54321
1. Is your GTS LMIA based WP approved now?
If yes, could you mention the timeline?
2. Also, could you mention the timeline for LMIA approval also ?
3. Were you able to use this LMIA in your PR application for getting those extra points ?

Thanks
