On 12/20 I applied for work permission on my dependent visa. Still haven’t received my post card stating to come back in and pick up. I realize not much got done during the holiday, but does anybody have any recent experience with how long these are taking to process? Does Immigration by chance publish current wait times? Thank you.

It’s usually weeks to months. Given the end of year, you shouldn’t even be thinking of expecting it for several more weeks at least.

No, but they publish a document every few months detailing the average time it took to process visas, broken down by type, whether they were renewals/new/switching status of residence.
