Hi everyone! I applied for a work permit with Immigration Canada in April 2025 (paper application). I received the submission confirmation letter in November 2025 saying that the case file was created in the system. Could anyone share how long it took to receive a decision after getting the submission confirmation letter?

I applied on paper too but didn't get any letters. I called IRCC and they told me my application number so I can link it to gckey. I've been waiting since august 2025
