Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)
- Thread starter A_Smile
- Start date
yes, alone and my eligibility shows as "Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start reviewing your eligibility."
Is that the same for you as well?
the funny part is people applying after me, have already got the work permit hard copy in hand and I am still waiting for the approval
I and my friend both applied on May 2 (graduated from the same program), and we didn't receive any updates yet. However, my friend's girlfriend has also applied the same day (graduated from a different program) and got her approval on May 21st.
That means different officers working on different application. Could be your friend’s application landed on VO who either had few applications left before your friend or had applications that are self sufficient not to take more time to do verification etc. In your case then, may be an officer has backlogs to work on…
yep that's the thing, not sure what basis officers choose the application
I believe it's random
