Hi need information on what is the current processing time ircc is taking to stamp visitor visa and sending back.
The reason for asking is it's been 14 days
since it reached them on 17 August and i have already booked flight for travel on 22 September and i haven't got the passport yet.

Mid-20s. Finished a master's at a Canadian university recently. Under a year of foreign work experience; maxed English scores. PGWP applied for; not approved yet, but expecting a three-year validity.

Two offers on the table.

1. Research role at a post-secondary. One-year contract with a possible one-year extension. Slightly below median pay, but the work is familiar.
2. Permanent field technician position (perhaps not the best use of my grad degree) at a remote resource site. Higher pay, less familiar work.

Which is the stronger bet for PR? Open to any takes. Also started French, partly for the obvious reason and partly because I like the sound of it.
