Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)

[onlymetaverse]

Applied on: May 3rd
197 days passed.

Noticed that the "Current Status" changed from "submitted" to "profile updated", but when I clicked "Check full application status" and found nothing new. Then I returned to the homepage and "Current Status" changed to "Submitted' again.

I also noticed the same situation, do you know why?

This is a ghost update. It means they may or mayn’t have made some updates in backend.

Maybe that means that IRCC begins to review your application.

I just checked in the system, and it is approved.

I applied on June 21, 2022, saw a ghost update yesterday, and was approved today.

Good luck to everyone waiting.

They'd most likely start with July applicants next week. #LetsGo

Congrats! Must be so frustrating. Did you try to call IRCC or submit a web form to escalate your case?

No, I didn't call IRCC, only web formed IRCC about my address change.

Bro my visa has expired on September 30th. If i go to border for work permit. Will the officer question me about my expired visa?

Hey all, i have a question. I applied for my work permit with almost a year and a half remaining on my passport. I was eligible for a 3 year PGWP (my degree was for two years) but I only got one for how long my passport was valid (Apr 2024). I was wondering if I can renew my passport and apply for a PGWP to get the full 3 years. Is that possible? Would appreciate any help, thanks.

Not worth it. Just wait.

Yes, you can do that. When you do, send a brief explanation of what happened. You'll have to pay the fees again.
