I know a lot of people are dying to hear some positive news. So I thought I would register an account to share with you that:
I applied on Jan-20th and my review of eligibility has started somewhere today (Jun 29).
No email has been sent to my inbox though.
Stay tone, stay positive, you will get your soon

Hi All,

I am new to this platform and this forum has helped me with my anxiety.
I applied on 15th Jan and my review started on 23rd June but no decision has been made yet!
I called multiple times, also raised a webform.
Should I be worried?

Hi all,

I applied it on Jan 19th. I saw the status changed to sth like "Application status update" this morning PST. But, after a while, I logged in again and the status returned back to "Submitted". I'm not sure what it means. I'm sure I saw the updated status. Does someone have any idea about that?

Hey, what is the ghost update? I applied it on Jan 19th. I saw the status changed to sth like "Application status update" this morning PST. But, after a while, I logged in again and the status returned back to "Submitted". I'm not sure what it means. Is it the ghost update?

Applied on Jan 19, no update so far! I’m not sure how long it would take?

i, all.

I applied for my PGWP on Jan 8 and got my letter Jan 9 stating I could work full time until October 6th or if I get a decision - whichever comes first.

Does that mean come October 6th, I cant work anymore? I am currently employed part time but am looking for FT work. If I do get employed, does that mean I have to go back to part time? When does implied status come into place?

Hey, from the CIC website


Why there’s an expiry date on the letter
Your letter automatically lists an expiry date that’s 120 days from the date we receive your application. The letter expires in 120 days because

• it’s the service standard to process this type of application
• many employers and health insurance providers will ask for proof that you’re allowed to work
  • an expiry date helps satisfy their concerns about your status and authorization to work in Canada

If we don’t finalize your application by the date on your letter
If we don’t finalize your application by the date on your letter, you can still keep working until we make a decision.

If your employer or others need proof that you can continue to work

• you can show them this web page, or
• if your employer is not satisfied with the information on this page, you can contact us

Extend or change the conditions on your work permit: After you apply - Canada.ca

Hi, Can anyone please let me know if I have to stop working temporarily when the expiry date in the WP-EXT form is approaching,

if so can I resume working only after getting another extension to WP-EXT after raising a webform

Anyone, please advise me on this
