The number of employment permit appeals received and the number of employment permit appeals accepted by my Department per month from May 2021 to May 2022 are set out in the tables below.

The processing dates for appeals are not separated by permit type. Appeals for all permit types are processed in date order. The Employment Permits Section inform me that they are currently processing appeals which were received on the 4thof March 2022.
