HIIIIIIIIIII I got approved yesterday!!!!

My account didnt show any update yesterday, and it showed approved on homepage but the detail table was still open and not decided today. So i called cic and ask whether is approved or not. They checked my application and told me it already mailed to me yesterday!

So i guess i got approval on Sep 30th! Please update my timeline~

Applied on May 15th, got 2 blank updates july and aug, request to pay the 100 on Sep 18th, and approved on Sep 30th! Waiting for my mail~

I hope everyone else will get your permit ASAP!!!!!

Proceesing date moved to 10th May, the date when I applied. But seeing how many are still waiting who have applied even earlier, I am not getting my hopes high. Does the processing date even make sense anymore :/.

I honestly have stopped believing that date. There are so many people from before that day that haven't even been approved yet.

I applied for PGWP on April 27th and still didn't hear back from CIC.
Farzan89,

Welcome to the forum!

I'm sorry to hear that you are still waiting. However, I'm curious as to whether you've checked your application details in your MyCIC account. I'm hoping you didn't miss out on any communication from CIC. Sometimes their automated system doesn't send emails to one's email address. If you haven't checked, please do just to make sure that you are actually still waiting rather than your application was refused and out of status by now.

If your details still say "Not started," then provide me with your full timeline and I will add it on the list. You might also want to give CIC a call at 1-888-242‑2100 (and make sure you have your UCI number when you call). Good luck and hope for the best.

Cheers!

CIC
Last update as of today was September 25, 2015
CIC is currently processing applications submitted on May 10, 2015
Official processing time as of today is 137 days for WP. Up by 5 days.
**New TRV (Inland) processing time for online applicants is 14 days
.

PLEASE NOTE:
1. Any PGWP applicants who visit this amazing forum and don't have their timeline profiles recorded on here should endeavour to provide their details truthfully. It helps everyone to keep track of things. If you want to be sure of your day counts please visit this site at http://www.timeanddate.com/date/duration.html. Be sure to select “Include end date in calculation.”

2. Once you've received a request to pay $100, or got an approval, or your PGWP, please remember to visit the forum again and update your fellow Members. Its important because it gives other applicants a bit of morale. Also, make sure that you renew your SIN by visiting your nearest Service Canada office at: http://www.servicecanada.gc.ca/cgi-bin/sc-srch.cgi?app=hme&ln=eng

3. If for whatever reason you email or call CIC (at 1-888-242‑2100), please feel free to share your findings in the forum.

4. If your individual processing time/day count exceeds the current CIC processing time of WP, please take the initiative to seek help from your Member of Parliament (MP) within your constituency (or residential area). Gather all evidence including your application number and let your MP know about your situation. To find your MP, use your current postal code via Parliament of Canada at: http://www.parl.gc.ca/Parlinfo/Compilations/HouseOfCommons/MemberByPostalCode.aspx?Menu=HOC.

5. If you paid only $155 and never paid the extra $100 for all OWP holders, please visit these two sites to pay and upload the remaining balance (receipt):
a) Online Payment at: https://eservices.cic.gc.ca/epay/welcome.do?lang=en. Once you are there follow the instructions below:
Click continue below > Accept disclaimer > Immigration > Temporary residence > Open work permit holder fee > type 1 for number of
applications > Submit > Pay. You will be asked to register on the online payment system in case you are not.

b) Case Specific Enquiry (CSE) at: https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/canada-case-cas-eng.aspx?_ga=1.63908399.108801500.1431902909
Use this online form to upload the PDF receipt you received. First fill in your UCI, address, phone etc. Scan and upload it to the CSE.
Also, type a short precise message (in the message box) indicating your reasons. In that message don't forget to include your online
Application Number that begins with a W.

6. ** New TRV for those who want to travel after receiving their PGWP. Processing fee is $100 (the required docs for application include; passport copy, face/head photograph, IMM5257E form, and a copy of your PGWP). Please be aware that your PGWP doesn't give you the right to return to Canada. You need a new TRV that you apply for as a worker NOT as a student. To get more information on applying for a new TRV from WITHIN Canada, please go to: https://www.google.com/search?q=apply+for+new+TRV+within+Canada&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8#q=Apply+for+new+TRV+from+within+Canada.

7. Unless its a family emergency, please make your travel plans carefully and wisely.

8. If you've been refused a PGWP and have lost status, please learn more about restoration of your status at: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/temp/visa/validity/restoration.asp and apply for both restoration of status and PGWP simultaneously.

Congratulations to FBR, Dirichletot, Arachsaloi, Shippo7, Nosmas, Saiyooka, Jlsm, and Mohsin9055 on the approval of their PGWP. Good luck on your job search.

To every applicant, cheer yourselves up and stay positive. It is a waiting game with snail speed services. Good luck.

Cheers! 8)

Farzan89,

Welcome to the forum!

I'm sorry to hear that you are still waiting. However, I'm curious as to whether you've checked your application details in your MyCIC account. I'm hoping you didn't miss out on any communication from CIC. Sometimes their automated system doesn't send emails to one's email address. If you haven't checked, please do just to make sure that you are actually still waiting rather than your application was refused and out of status by now.

If your details still say "Not started," then provide me with your full timeline and I will add it on the list. You might also want to give CIC a call at 1-888-242‑2100 (and make sure you have your UCI number when you call). Good luck and hope for the best.

Cheers!

I check my CIC Account regularly in order to not miss anything. My MP is in contact with CIC and they even don't have a clear answer for my MP. As of September 10th, My application passed thr normal processing time and the call centre agent noted the officer but still no news.
