Current processing time is showing 103 days nows. So anyone knows how long they are taking to send the physical copy of permit and do we need physical copy to apply for trv.

Hi,

I applied for PGWP back in July of this year and my application is still in process. Also, I have a permanent residency application that I lodged in April. For my PR application, I am eligible to apply for an open work permit while it is processing. My question is if it is ok to apply for the open work permit through my PR application while my PGWP application is also in process?

Thank you!

When i sent min, they didn't answer back but the change has been made and i received a email 1 week later. normally they take 48 hour if your application is late to be process, what was the reason of your web form?
I submitted some wrong files for my PGWP, sent them corrections

Guys I read that someone got rejected in PGWP and also from OCAD University. I am really worried as I also went to OCAD U and I was also Part-Time in my 3rd year (was missing only 1 course to be Full-Time because I took classes in the summer) as well as I had an Unscheduled break so I missed 1 semester and had to stay in my home country. I did send the Letter that explains my circumstances and all other required documents. I have been working in my field and before I went to Seneca College graduated from there but decided to continue and to a Degree. I applied on June 21 but has anyone been in a similar situation? Do you think there's still a chance I will get approved?
Don't worry! I think you will be! This is no problem!

Will they prioritize PGWP over other work permit under this category? Mine is coop work permit, i'm really worried if they decide to process all PGWP first...

yeah dude... it's kinda torture to me
I think you are in a much better position than me... I think there's a good chance my PGWP will be rejected so... but I won't know until early January... so it is worse for me than you... I know you will get your co-op permit soon, maybe tomorrow... :)
