Hello friends, I just got approved yesterday, here's my timeline:

Applied May 15th, paid $155.
Contacted my MP's office towards the end of October.
Received request to pay $100 on October 6th, paid it the same day.
Received two updates on November 19th in the morning, my status changed to "approve" in the afternoon.

Now just waiting to receive my physical permit so I can start working.

Thank you for all of your support, and I hope the rest of May applicants are sorted out very soon.

Hello Everyone

I have applied for my work permit since May 19th and am leaving for my home country soon. I lose my implied status in this case. But Can I work remotely from my home country till the time i get a work permit. Would CIC have any objection to that?

Regards

Hi All,

Please, does anyone have an idea about the change of address option and whether you can do it via a direct call to CIC or we have to go through the CSE option. I am a bit concerned because I have on queue for the Mp of my new address and going by what a member just said, I hope CIC doesn't refuse his help because of the different mailing address.

Any insights about this??

June 10 Applicant here.
Hi, I had changed my address online. Later when I called the CIC to inquire about my status they verified that my new address is updated on the file. I am a June 26th applicant still waiting for my PGWP approval.

Nov 16 - I got a call from the MP office that inquiries about my application has been forwarded to CIC and I will get a response in 10 days
Nov 17- I checked my CIC account and status changed to Approved.

yeah that's what they will say but call another MP in your area and say that yours is new and hasn't set up his office, but you really need help, can you help me or direct me to an MP that is responsible for my riding at the moment.

That is what people in this forum did in Calgary and found that Michelle Rempel's office is helping nearby areas as well.
thanks mets15,

Unfortunately they still gave me the mp not set up......and the mp only provide email address to public. Dats insane

Hi everyone!

I applied on June 30th, paid full amount. Still waiting now. Feel so frustrating!
Cannot go out Canada for a vacation neither to my home country. I planned with my boyfriend a trip to Switzerland at the end of November, now all is in vain. Also, without a work permit, we can not get the medical insurance card... While fortunately my employer is fine with the "implied status".
Almost 5 months' wait...
I've sent an e-mail to CIC and also called them. The lady of the Telecenter told me that she would send a notification to VO. But I am wondering whether it works really.
But if we contact MP, do they also work for international students ? Thanks if someone can answer.
Good luck to all!

But if we contact MP, do they also work for international students ? Thanks if someone can answer.
Good luck to all!
Hi, I am in the same situation, applied June 26th. Supposed to go to Europe in 4 weeks but still waiting for the PGWP. Luckily, I can keep working too.. I contacted my MP, they told me I would get my reply this week, today is the end of the work week and no reply yet so I will be contacting them again. A lot of students here have gotten their approvals quickly after contacting their MP. Guess I'm not that lucky but worth a try. They are supposed to help you, that's what they are there for.

Thank you mets15 for your answer. I will try next week. It seems to be the only way that works. Hope we can all get the PGWP soon!

Hi everyone!

I applied on June 30th, paid full amount. Still waiting now. Feel so frustrating!
Cannot go out Canada for a vacation neither to my home country. I planned with my boyfriend a trip to Switzerland at the end of November, now all is in vain. Also, without a work permit, we can not get the medical insurance card... While fortunately my employer is fine with the "implied status".
Almost 5 months' wait...
I've sent an e-mail to CIC and also called them. The lady of the Telecenter told me that she would send a notification to VO. But I am wondering whether it works really.
But if we contact MP, do they also work for international students ? Thanks if someone can answer.
Good luck to all!
Hey, i am on the same boat....i applied on june30th as well still waiting....i called the help centre they told me they sent a msg to the department responsible and they will take action soon so you just need to wait.....i contacted my mp also CIC told him the same thing....yes international students can contact mp.....i have to travel out of Canada as well and it's been frustrating for me too....please let me know once you receive your permit!

Hi All,

I logged into CIC today and under details it shows Approved but when I click on check status & messages, the status is open and decision has not been started yet. Has anyone faced a similar situation in the past?

KristianVassilev,

Don't give up on you, your wife, nor your future plans. Stay positive; its just a matter of time and things will work out. Good luck.

Cheers!
Thank you for your input & advice. I will be flying to Toronto (from Calgary) beginning of next week. There is a consulate there, and I can get a new passport, because I don't think my wife can renew my passport without me there.

Now that I think more clearly, and not out of frustration, may be we will try to get her a visitor (tourist) visa. Meanwhile I'll be working on extending my passport and PGWP, but we'll be together (even if she's not allowed to work). And then as soon as I receive my new PGWP she will apply for OWP from within Canada.

Do you think if they refuse her a visitor visa it will negatively affect future applications (like an OWP)?

Thank you again.
