Nobody has an update on close work permits?

Very very true and exact. It cannot be said louder and clearer than this. For those seeking a closed (Employer specific) work permit, your chances are only better if you are highly skilled, knowledged and experienced in a field that is in demand and the Canadian populace are unable to fill. The only low skilled jobs that they offer foreigners is SAWP (Seasonal Agricultural Work Permit). Which is restricted to citizens of Mexico and the Caribbean countries

People aren't listening, The Canadian federal government and Canadian employers are not stupid

The system in Canada ensures that people already in the country with full working rights are employed before processing work permit for foreigners, for example:
Citizens and Permanent residents
New permanent residents and their spouses
Refugees with protected status
International Students
Post graduate work permit holders
Spouses of International Students in Canada
Spouses of Temporary work permit holders in Canada.

All these categories of people already have working rights in Canada, so why would the Canadian employers bother to employ foreigners from outside Canada and go through the hassles of processing work permit Why would the Canadian government give significant quota to work permit for foreigners when these categories of people are increasing in numbers and can fill the labour gaps in the country, Immigration consultants will only rip you off of your hard earned money, they can't beat the system.

The only way to have a chance to secure a job in Canada from outside is if you're a highly qualified and experienced
Medical Doctor
Registered Nurse
Nurse Aide
IT Professional
Advanced Bilingual ( English & French ) in any profession.

No short cuts to Canada

Yes I saw it on the IRCC website. It should take much less for jobs in or in direct support of health services. The last foreign worker recruited by the company a year ago for the same job, had his work permit processing completed in 2weeks. He is not from Nigeria, but from another country in Africa whose TRV processing time is even longer than that of Nigeria. Infact, he told me that as at the time of submitting his WP application, the IRCC website was estimating a processing time of 16weeks but he got his WP in 2weeks.

Currently it takes 14 weeks

Who knows how long it takes to process a closed work permit for health services workers? WP application was submitted on 16th July 2024. I already have my biometrics on file when I applied for my first canada visa in 2020. So I guess the biometrics is still valid
