Work Permit

[jinglebell0123]

Hey folks, it is been 4 months the status of my work permit is as below. Per GCMS notes they said it is pending meds which I haven't received any instructions to do medicals but when I linked the application to my online account it says I don't need a medical exam. Have anyone seen anything like this?

Applied by paper, first time work permit inside Canada. Many times tried calling IRCC but never got a hold of an agent.

Where do you see it is pending medicals? Unfortunately there are long processing times for WP for asylum seekers. You just have to wait.

on the GCMS notes says it is pending meds on the notes. WP by mail takes 15 days nowadays, mine has been 4 months. And has been almost 2 years since applied for refugee and already got positive decision.
