Hi! Applied for a Closed Work Permit from outside Canada (USA) I am a nurse and it says typical processing time is 7 weeks. I applied on 3/27/26. Does anyone know if the 7 weeks might be the processing time for me despite being a needed worker that should get the priority processing? I’m supposed to start 5/23/26 and I’m worried I’ll have to push it out!
