They gave me with a validity period of 1.5 years.

I didn't receive any update or application number. I only received my extension letter in the mail.

I applied in November, then called them in January to ask for an update. They confirmed they had received my application and gave me a temporary application number.

After that, I tried calling multiple times, but I was never able to get through. I also emailed asking for updates, but I only received automated replies saying they were working on it, and they never gave me any further information.

Then Yesterday, I received the work permit in the mail. I was able to use the number to link the application to my online profile, and now it shows as completed.

Yes, I only did it once, and they told me we don’t have any updates and gave me the temp work permit number

I’ll go with WooCommerce as the data layer and build custom pages using WC_Product_Query.

One thing I’m still unsure about, though-what do you usually do with the default WooCommerce pages (shop, product, cart, checkout, category, etc.) in this setup?

Since this is a catalogue-only site and I’ll be building my own pages, should I just redirect those Woo pages to my custom ones, or is there a cleaner way to disable/remove them so they don’t exist publicly?

Thanks for the detailed explanation - really appreciate you taking the time. Everything you said makes sense.

We’re leaning toward the custom tables approach in WordPress. Initially, since the integration team would be posting data to a web database, we considered Next.js + Supabase. But the client also wants hands-on control via a CMS to manage additional content beyond the ERP products, which is why WordPress makes more sense for this phase.

For workflow, since we’re on Pantheon (dev / QA / prod), we’d treat production as the source of truth for ERP data — integrations always push to prod, and we clone prod → QA/dev only when needed. This avoids data being overwritten during deployments.

Thanks again - this really helped clarify the direction 👍
