Fair, but a lot of precedents of initial PGWP applications on here are getting approved in about a month or two so just trying to figure out what the exact timeline would be. Thanks tho!
Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)
- Thread starter A_Smile
- Start date
With IRCC, It is always case by case. Some people take a week while some take a year. Now why that disparity, is something nobody has been able to ascertain. Good Luck on your application
Not true. That's from their website:
Our processing times are historical, meaning they’re measured based on how long it took to process 80% of applications in the past
Heya. Mine is still in background check stage :/ I applied from Montreal, Quebec
Hi I applied in March 21 for PGWP EXT. I did recieve biometrics request letter even though I had done biometrics during my study permit. I attached copy of my biometric fee and letter. I havent heard since then. Any idea how long it takes to get UCI and biometrics linked? It's just been 3 months approx should I wait to hear from ircc itself?
once it exceeded the normal processing times, you have every right to raise a webform.
by the way i too got the letter on june 12 , i paid for biometrics and uploaded the same. on july 26 , i got biometric instruction letter. gave biometrics . since then , no updates on my file
I applied pgwp for myself and study permit for my son at 27th of January. It is more than 160 days and still waiting. Is there anyone still waiting like me from that period. My application number start with w3071. I think this is the strike effect what we are facing off.
Hi I want to update my timeline:
Applied on March 10th, no WP-EXT letter
Correspondence Letter July 8th
Approved July 10th
Yes, I worked even without the wpext letter. I send webforms asking ircc to issue one for me, but they ignored. I called, and they said you can work and they are going to send me an email so i can show it to my employer, they never did after the call. Anyway, I've been working without it.
