Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)

[danielvalenca]

Hello everyone.
I had a question. As long as I know, we can start working once we applied for PGWP. So why we should be worried when they will finish processing of our applcation? Why people are worried to get the PGWP asap when they can work!?

Because one thing it's we know, the other thing is the employer. My wife got a Scotiabank job offer, but they put her position on hold while she is waiting for the PGWP response. Unfortunately, they didn't accept the PGWP confirmation of application, even though we showed them the law. They said it's bank requirements and they will wait until she gets the new permit.

Applied and confirmed PGWP on December 19th.

Hi everyone. I applied for my PGWP on Dec 20th and successfully paid the application fee (I have a proof of payment) but it still shows my application as "Not Submitted". I'm starting to freak out as I'm out 255 bucks and don't have a submitted application. I have sent multiple emails and web forms, but the answer is just an automated message. Is that normal? I really appreciate your help.

You have no idea how big of a relief that is for me. Thank you!
I assume you had the same problem and your application showed as not submitted as well?

Hi,

I applied for PGWP and it was approved on Nov 10. I could see it online. But I have not received the Work permit through post. Can someone kindly let me know if this is a normal delay or should I connect to CIC.

Thanks in advance,
Brenna

Yes! I uploaded all the documents, successfully paid the fees and the status changed to processing payment. However, when I checked the application status after a couple hours, It said "Not Submitted" as if I've never submitted the whole thing.

 

[katelove]

You should do double check.... It is supposed to be submitted and you will get the confirmation message

I got it after 3 weeks delay. Those 3 weeks were frustrating. But I would suggest you to wait for it.
