[GoOfy_4485]

Congrats! You just gave me hope! Applied April 21

Thank you. IRCC is taking time for PGWP applications with medical on it. My friends who applied on March are still waiting for their SOWP. So don't worry you're not alone.

Is there anyone who applied end of May around the 27th?

Hi Guys,

I have applied for my PGWP after my first course completion (1 year) though i have applied for my second course and got my study permit extension also but i had decided to apply for PGWP just after my first course as i got a job offer. But while applying for PGWP i have uploaded provisional confirmation of graduation letter ( Which specify that i have completed the course but yet to graduate without any date) and my transcripts from my college website (Unofficial) showing all 42 credits. I have received one more letter from college which is a course completion letter (Specifying my date of graduation) on the next day of my application which i have uploaded using webform .Just want to confirm will there be any issue if i have submitted course completion using web form. Please let me know if someone have similar case.

PGWP Application Applied - 14 Sep 22
Submission confirmation -14 Sep 22

No other update

Web Form Raised 15 Sep 22 to upload doc.
**Got auto reply for the web form received after 20 Hours

This sounds complicated, bro. I'm new to PGWP, but a condition of your study permit is to work 20 hours max. This directly clashes with your PGWP. Also, a PGWP will be offered only once. So, if you apply now, you won't be able to apply after your second course (which may entitle you to 3 years PGWP).

Hi! I had a similar situation, and uploaded my program completion letter one week after I applied for my PGWP. I submitted it via webform as well, received my approval on 20th August 2022. So you're good to go!

So what do you do after the second course? Apply for EE or work permit extension?

I have a question for a friend:
They applied and were accepted by ITD Canada (https://www.itdcanada.ca/). The school has a DLI and offered him a 60% scholarship. The Admission letter states all this infor & says that it is a co-op program.

The problem is that the school can't offer PGWP per a search on this website: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/study-permit/prepare/designated-learning-institutions-list.html

Now, what can he do? Should he come in, get a co-op work permit? What chances does he have of getting a work permit extension or applying for a new work/study permit?

Is it okay to come study in Canada at a school that doesn't offer PGWP?

Oh. Okay bro. I thought you wanted to do both. Do you have a pathway to PR on your mind already? Because the 1 year PGWP will finish fast.

Ya bro , after 1 year pgwp will apply OBWP that will be additional 1 year so that will be enough . Aleardy have master equivalent and studies points will remain 15 anyway so opted this option.

Okay, makes sense. You will likely be eligible for PGWP extension anyway till 2024 (as they deal with the backlog).

Do you have any advice for someone who found out their DLI college's programs don't qualify for PGWP? Should they still come, do co-op, and apply for a work permit, EE or PNP after?
