Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)

[jeffjay]

Is this applicable for PGWP - it says WP-EXT except PGWP in the webpage ?

Check letter validity section and paragraphs after that from the following link:

Hello Everyone. This is my first time posting on these forums, but reading the updates here helped me during the rough waiting time... so thought I'd return the favor.

PGWP - Application Approved - OUTLAND
Application Date: 2nd Sept 2021
Eligibility Review: 25th March 2022 - 28th March 2022 (It was over the weekend otherwise I think it takes 1 day)

Then Passport request and approval followed quickly.

Good luck to everyone still waiting!

Congratulations!! I applied on September 12th also from Egypt. I hope I get approved soon. Thank you for sharing, it is so rough waiting for such a decision.

I have a question. Is it possible for them to take less than 133 days? Has anyone received their approval before the completion of 133 days? I have my flight book on the 25th of June and I applied for my PGWP on the 14th of January. So just stressing out if I will receive my approval before my flight. Please help me here if anyone can!

Congratulations

Congratulations! I am happy for you. Can you let me know how much time did your passport take get stamped or you did not have to get your passport stamped? I mean can we just travel with the visa document just?

Honestly, no one can give you a precise date, not even IRCC agents. the last time I called them they said it takes them 133 days to complete 80% of the application the rest 20% can take up to no one knows!

163 days waiting for an inland application

Any idea why are they taking so long in your application? Did you do a 2 year program?

 

[Braykhna Khan]

Any January or December approvals?

For me they took 10 months and then refused my application saying my school is not approved which is big mistake by officer . I applied for reconsideration on March 16 but nothing I got no update nothing

Your processing depend on which cic office your application goes. Edmenton office is king of wrong rejection and delay.. some people from Feb also got approval.. so it depend on which ircc office your application goes.. ircc edmenton is kind of joke

Can anybody tell me how to approach them and get status regarding where my application is and how much more time will it take for them to process the application.
