Did you apply online or paper? Is it a family application (spouse, kids) or only for your PGWP? If it is the "regular" case applying online and only your PGWP, I would say it is a huge delay, but I am not sure what you could do since you already tried the form and also calling...

It doesn't any make sense. Your visa will expire in December 2018 and you applied in May 2018? That soon? When did you graduate?
I had the same. Originally my 2-year program should end in December (with both summers off), eventually, my shool decided to go without any semester off. Graduated in April, with a visa being valid until January following year

Your friends have given bad advice. Take the 2 years (has to be a public school and full time course) and qualify for the 3 year PGWP. If you only take a one year course, iyou would have to get a job right away to get 1 years work experience.
Oh, good. I was thinking maybe his problem was applying too soon, but it makes sense. Thanks for the explanation!
Upon receiving graduation confirmation letter from my university (University of Toronto) in May, 2018 I applied for the PGWP. I already found a job and to legally start working right after receiving the letter, I need to have PGWP application in progress and therefore I applied right away. My SP was extended to December ,2018 when I requested for SP extension. Should I still wait or go for a lawyer? I did not try flagpoling as my TRV is already expired.
I don't know about a lawyer, but I think your process is taking way much longer than it should.
Did you try calling them? Explain that you sent a request online and you didn't understand the answer. Maybe they can explain better to you what is going on.

Last time when I called them, they could not answer why it was taking too long and gave a general answer saying my application was in progress. Same for the case specific inquiries.
Is anyone waiting for the pgwp (principal applicant + owp spouse) more than 100 days? I've just noticed that today is my 100th waiting day anniversary. I was thinking to keep a good mood and celebrate it

Hi!
I am almost on the same boat applied (13 July), there have been no updates. Friends that I know applied 2 weeks after me have received their permits. It's frustrating, but as you said I also try to keep my self-calm. No choice.
