I applied for my PGWP on May 3 2025 and it has been more than 7 months now. I urgently need to go to home country and I wait every day for a message from IRCC. I already raised a webform, but it has been 2 weeks and I have received still processing applications asap reply only. My question is: does processing become slow in December? Will my application only move forward in January? Is that right?”

No reason for processing to become slower in December compared to other months. Not sure what you mean by move forward. Current processing time is 225 days which is an estimate and you are not beyond the estimate. Why raise a webform.

Google shows that processing can be slower in December because of Christmas holidays, so that’s why I asked. I just wanted to confirm if it affects the application timeline.”

Not sure what google knows about IRCC but there are statutory government holidays in December, yes. Christmas, Boxing Day and NY Day. So those don't count for processing times.
