Hi everyone
I submitted my Application on Jan 12 inland I have sent various web forms asking for an update but they keep saying ”We verified the information you provided; however, we require further information in order to access the file.

Does anyone know what else I should write in the enquiry description so I can get a better response? Or do I have to send in the forms used in my application ?
Fill all information in web form including middle name if any. When the info you provide in webform is complete, the agent will be able to access your file.

Is contacting MP helpful?
Yes it is. If your application is past processing time, your MP will help you contact IRCC directly and give you feedback regarding the status of your application. If an employer refuses to hire you because your EXT letter has expired, your MP can liaise with such employer, informing them that you are allowed to work while your application is being processed.

Hi Everyone, I have a question here and I think I can find my answer here. This is for Ontarians.

My wife graduated in Feb and we got married after that. I have PR card but my wife was going to apply for PGWP first and then meanwhile I apply PR for her with sponsorship program.

My wife has applied for PGWP on March 27th. Actually, she had UHIP until end of April. She is not eligible for OHIP until she gets her Work Permit based on Service Ontario Website, although she is working now.
Do you think she is eligible for OHIP when I have PR? What do you suggest? If she is not eligible, can I buy Health Insurnace from private providers?

Also, I have not applied PR for her with sponsership program yet. I will do that soon. Do you think if I apply for her, she will be eligible for OHIP?

Sorry guys, here was the only place I could share my concerns.

Best,
She can apply for OHIP if she has a valid permit as a spouse of a PR. If her permit is expired, then you would have to wait for the PGWP to be issued. She can also contact her school and extend her UHIP

Hi, does anyone know if I can continue to work after the expiration date on WP-EXT for PGWP? I submitted it on February 1, 2022, and I haven't received the decision yet, and today it crossed the 120 days mark (the expiration date was June 1, 2022). Do I need to show my employer any other document other than the WP-EXT for PGWP?

I am extremely sorry if it has been answered already, it's just that I am extremely worried thinking that I have to stop working/ leave my job because 120 days have passed. If it helps, I have applied for my PGWP for the first time.

Any feedback will be highly appreciated!

Please help!

You're on implied, you can continue working until you receive the decision. The date on the document is arbitrary.

Thanks a lot for your comment! Do I need to submit a continued proof of authorization to work using the IRCC web form? This link (https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/temporary-residents/study-permits/post-graduation-work-permit-program/permit.html?fbclid=IwAR2-NIB2SJ06ayqn1pz9-P_9jzERznHXodI6OhAx1ORUgSn8W3d5498rIho) says the web form can be sent after 120 days have been passed, and today is the day for me.

Hi everyone! I am an international student, who graduated, if I apply online for the PWGP, the processing time is 144 days. Can I go through the flagpole and get the PWGP? Has anyone passed the flash drive recently?
