Hi. You might just have to wait a bit today or tomorrow. Yesterday morning, I checked the website and it said approved, just like you, but with no document. I had to wait 'til the evening to receive a confirmation document. It takes some time.
Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)
- Thread starter A_Smile
- Start date
Did you get eligibility review etc before ? Or was it directly an approval ? Thank you.
Yes, Yesterday I checked the IRCC website, it said "we are reviewing your eligibility ....." (no email notification as well)
That's why I login and checked the status this morning.
Congratulations.Hi all, I wanted to update. Here's my timeline.
Applied on: June 25th 2022
Eligibility review on: December 5th 2022
Approved on: December 6th 2022
Now waiting for the hard copy
Good luck everyone! This process is very frustating - trust me, it's not the first application I've done. Hang in there!
Ps. I did send a message through the Web Form about a week ago saying that the processing time was exceeded (it was around 145 days when I applied in June). I don't know if that helps to accelerate the process, but it's not the first time I've tried that and within a couple of weeks, I got accepted. Just saying..
Usually they take current processing time as reference, which is 166/168 days, but I am surely gonna try this if I do see any update by next week. Thank you.

Congratulations! Just for clarification this was inland online PGWP application, eh? I applied July 22, still haven’t heard.
How should we deal with a situation like this please? As in, if it takes 5 months or more for the PGWP to be approved, and they give the interim authorisation only for 4 months, then do students usually stop working after the 4 months and wait for the approval?
Any advice would be very helpful. Thank you so much!
Hi, I have applied for my PGWP in september and I received a work authorization letter till jan 10th, where i can stay back and work in the country till i get a response on my application. With just one 1 month to go and a two-week christmas break in between, I am beginning to worry if i will receive a response before the due date (Jan 10th).
Has anyone been through this or is in a similar situation? I'm unsure how to go about this...should I send a web form to extend the date on the letter or mayb apply for an extension as a visitor to stay back in the country? I came here on a study permit which has already expired. I would appreciate all the responses I could get. Thank you

what did you do to stay back in the country? I applied on september 12th and my work authorization letter expires on jan 10th 2023. My study permit has also expired. I was hoping this would come through but with barely a month left and with 2 weeks of holidays in between this month, I am beginning to worry.
Hi, did you submit the webform after the due date on the letter to get a response or before? i have time till jan 10th, 2023 so im confused if i can stay back and work without any status in the country. my study permit has expired and i was hoping this would come within the month but on reading everyone's conversations here it seems unlikely with this backlog. Any advice would help. Thanks
