Well i think there’s difference between PGWP and holding a work permit and want to extend it. if they are working on April application how people applied between April 25 to may 12 got there approved in an average of 45 days. it all depends on number of files they got. That’s my point of view.

For sure it can be 0-95 days.

I’ve had some people get it within 1 month, some over 90 days.

It depends who gets your application, and if it’s complete etc.

I understand but as per CIC they consider it to be an extension of status, so to review the accurate processing times, applicants should look at the correct processing times.

With processing times at 94 days now. It can surely come sooner or later.

still waiting PGWP as permit to apply lease a car for my working. But 65 days now. Since there no more update applications since May 12th, it’s become more stressful.

Is there any GPA requirement to get PGWP approved. i had 2.0 gpa is it okay ?
2.0 of 4.0 (C?)? Not too bad. But I heard some says, low GPA or drop too many courses or have part-time terms (except the last term) will bad for you to apply the PGWP, my friend‘s friend got rejected.
