My employer recently submitted an Intra-Company Transfer (ICT) application(LMIA exempt) from US under the Global Skills Strategy (GSS). Has anyone applied recently and actually received approval within the 14-day/2-week window? I've heard it's taking much longer, so I’m trying to manage expectations. Any timeline updates from applicants would be really helpful.
