Hello, I've applied for PGWP outside Canada (IND) on May 18th, 2021. My eligibility review has not started yet and the current processing time is 19 weeks.

Is there anyone who applied from India around the same time and received their final decision? If yes, what was the time line? I am really concerned as my full time job offer is on hold as I'm unable to travel.
Have you received PGWP yet?

I think I made an error in my PGWP application.

I'm a citizen of African Country who has UK visa until Feb 2022.
I put on my application that the end date of my immigration status was Aug 25 because that's the date of my flight. I thought the question was asking when I would be in the UK.

How can I rectify this? I already submitted a web form to inquire about my application as the processing times have passed, so should I send another? Please help
Hey bro, I have been following your messages. I have applied for PGWp outside Canada as well. I am just wondering, were you physically present in UK when you applied for PGWP? Did you list your current country of Residence as UK while applying? I perceive that you were later going to fly to UK

I applied for my PGWP on the 9th of April 2021. I didn’t hear anything for weeks, but I continued working in the job I started in June. My PGWP got approved on the 16th of September 2021 (over 6 months later).
Why am I writing about this? Because I want to encourage people who have been waiting for sometime. As long as you fulfilled all the necessary requirements, don’t be worried. Your permit will be approved, just keep working and enjoying your ‘EXTRA’ time. :)

Congratulations and good to hear as I am waiting from June 9th. I am just wondering if you asked for or received a work authorization extension letter after 4 months of applying?
