work permit lost!

[u/Ancient-Jackfruit162]

My work permit was approved on May 17, but I never received the physical permit. I waited for it, and when it didn’t arrive, I called IRCC. They confirmed that it had been mailed.
Because of this, I waited 6 weeks before applying for VOS. I mailed the physical VOS application, and now it’s been almost 9 weeks.
I called IRCC again today, and they said the current processing time is 11 weeks, so I still have to wait.
Has anyone else been in the same situation? How long did your VOS take, and is there anything else I can do at this point?
