Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)

[captainarabiia]

I applied on 15th of May. Yesterday, the eligibility review was updated to: we are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements. Since then, there is no change. I was expecting an update yesterday or today but nothing happened. Is this something I should worry about?

Might take till Friday or Monday. Just tons of apps to process.

Hopefully by tomorrow. I have noticed most approvals are done on Thursdays and Fridays.

You can't afford to argue with them on that tho In case your application time has exceeded the normal limit (say you applied in Jan or Feb and still no updates), then it's a case specific thing and they will do something.

I applied on July 14th and honestly this wait is killing me. It’s worse now that I know they are taking ages. Objectively when can I expect to receive an answer?

At the current trend maybe in October or November..? But it could get faster later because May/June is the peak so don't panic.
