Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)

[lunnaslima]

Congratulations on approval of the work permit. I applied for the PGWP on 17th of may but I applied for me as well as Spouse work permit for my wife and a TRV for my son. I am planning contacting IRCC also. Just curious if you applied for family or individual so that we can have an idea on which files are being processed.

Thank you. Mine was individual.
3 years studying. 3 years of PGWP.

They seem to be sleeping on the files. Did you apply with spouse or only PGWP for self? Maybe those applying with spouse visa are facing a longer processing time.

Only for myself.
btw, my student visa/co-op visa will expire on December 31 this year. I am not sure if this is the reason, maybe they will approve the applications from those whose student visa will expire soon.

Hi, I was wondering how long it takes to get the approval letter after getting approved. Also the physical work permit

Hi, I was wondering how long it takes to get the approval letter after getting approved. Also the physical work permit

1-2 days for the approval letter. 7-10 days for the physical work permit, depending on long weekends/holidays.

If you’re still waiting can you tell us your timeline so we can have a sense of where IRCC is at the moment??
