Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)

[Ntechno]

Would someone mind helping me out... appreciate any feedback!

Partner will apply for PGWP in January 2022, I can not apply for my SOWP until my partner has received her PGWP & it's included in my application.

Due to current processing times, I doubt we will receive the PGWP before my current work permit expires in March 2022.

Plan is to wait until the last day or so & apply for my SOWP with my partners letter of employment, 3 pay stubs, & contract. Then upload PGWP once received, to my application via webform.
Alternatively I may even upload my partners application form for the PGWP to my SOWP application.

Again, any help/opinion would be very much appreciated.

(We are both currently in Canada)

Thanks!

Not claiming to an expert on the matter but recently PM Trudeau wrote a letter to IRCC to prioritize applications (multiple news article available on google). So, if everything goes well there could be significant changes (in terms of speed) post holidays. Looks like you guys have planned well, wish you best of luck!

Did you submit any webforms in the past?

I once did asking whether I could get a letter confirming that I could work in the meanwhile while my application wass being processed but received no response.

Did they skip over September 7th - 8th? I see people from Sept 9th - 10th getting approved.

Yes, you will be getting a letter. Few don't get it because of the technical glitch. But nothing to worry, you can still work.
