Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)

[Khans96]

Hello everyone. In the letter I received from IRCC after submitting my work permit request, its written I can work until 6th October or whenever decision has been made, whichever is sooner. Does anyone else has the same problem? does it mean if I don't hear back by 6th October I'm not on implied status anymore?

When did you apply?

Don't think the letter means anything. As per immigration law you are indefinitely under implied status as long as the result is not out yet. Of course don't travel outside of Canada especially if your visa is expiring during the wait.

yeah, but do you also have a deadline in the letter?

I only saw this from my wife’s SOWP extension application. But for my PGWP extension, I don’t have the “until” date.

Do you think it will change something in the process? I'm still waiting for my PWGD approve since May 27th...

Not really, it’s just a “insurance policy” in case something happens. I believe the person gets the refund on one of the applications if that is the case…
