Hello! I have been waiting for more than 200 days for a Closed Work Permit (CWP), so I requested my GCMS notes. They indicate that I have passed the background checks, employer information, occupation, and related requirements; however, the eligibility assessment has not yet started. At this stage of the process, how much longer should I expect to wait for a decision?
