How long can it take for a work permit to be processed?
How long can it take for a UK citizen to get a work permit for Canada? Interested in hearing how other people got theirs.
Many thanks!

If you mean by an overseas office then timeframes vary in weeks/months on the basis that you have been accepted to work in Canada.

Yep, as FL has said, if you're a UK citizen then you can just get your TWP at the airport when you arrive, which is what most on the forum do, so no processing time at all.
The LMIA is the bit that takes the time, depending on the application your employer puts together and your job, that can take as little as 10 working days, or as long as 4/5 months or so.
HTH.
