Does anyone know if companies receive an email once the permit is ready or do they need to check on the platform which they submitted the single permit application?

Congratulations !!

But may i ask you some questions :

Why it was so long in your case ?
Was there any additional Requirement after application submission or some miss at ur end ?
Under Which category did you apply and which region ?

Best Regards ,

They need to check platform for sure. Not sure if there is an alert or not.

what does it means "Admissibility confirmation" is it social security email ?

bc2910

No, it is not same with social security email. I got the social security mail on the same day with the application.

Admissibility letter just says that the package is complete and all necessary documents to start the process are there: “After checking the above application, I inform you that the file is complete and therefore admissible. we can therefore proceed to the substantive processing of your application.”

After this one is received, authorities have 120 days to give you a feedback about your single permit.

There are 3 stages in the single permit application - File Accepted/Admissible ==> Work Authorization ==> Resident Approval=Single Permit

My single permit application was submitted on 24th Sep. Anyone has any idea, by when I can expect Work & residence permit.
