Hi guys,

PGWP applied: AUGUST 21st
Eligibility review: NOVEMBER 22nd 12pm
Approved 3 years: NOVEMBER 22nd 5pm

Good luck and let me know if any questions!
Hello I have a query, maybe you can resolve it. I wanted to understand if my one year course gets over in May 2020 and I apply for the PGWP in June 2020 what will be the date on the work permit, will it be counted from the date of application (June 2020) or the date of issuance of PGWP (after 4 months of processing time)

why wait one month to apply for work permit ?
It will be from date of approval.

Thanks for the information, I am just taking the date for example. So I will be applying in May 2020 mostly after my course gets over and just to clarify the PGWP is issued to me after four months, then the date on the PGWP will be from August/September 2020 correct?

Appreciate the prompt response. Thank you!

Yes.
But you can start working full time once you apply.
