Cic website says completion letter
And
Unofficial or official transcript is needed.
There is no need to send official transcript

Before you can apply for a PGWP, you’ll need:

  • an official letter from your school that confirms you’ve completed your study program
  • an official transcript, or a copy of your transcript from your school’s website

yes, you do not need a valid study permit for applying the PGWP now, but you have 180days to apply since you graduated from college.

Applied on paper May 1, they received my application May 9. Still waiting. I started my full time job since May 1. Currently on implied status. Already a regular employee. Waiting game is just stressful!

I got my PGWP on Aug 24
Applied on May 17th
No update at all
Sent a webform on the 23rd
Just so you know guys the only pece of doc proving my graduation that I had submitted was the a letter saying that "Mr.X has finished his studies and is going to receive his degree on July 4th" no transcript or whatsover!
If they need more documents,they will ask for it, I have seen some people here misinforming others and saying things like "If you dont submitt your transcript,yout application will get rejected and stuff like that"
Just a quick question, so when you submitted your application, was there only one option for degree completion letter, or was another option for transcript and you just chose not to submit it? I mean, now there are two mandatory files need to be submitted, both the letter and the transcript.
