Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)

[thekaranchauhan]

UPDATE

I got connected with IRCC after 30th try. Started calling from 7:59 am got connected at 9:05 with 42 minutes wait time.

If you get message saying "We are unable to connect"...cut the call and try again immediately. I hope it works for you guys.

The agent said that they have forwarded my file and concern to the respected office. I've applied on 6th June and still nothing .

Hello everyone, it would be appreciated if someone can help me out. Actually, I have two questions. First is, I had completed my post graduation in december and my study permit is valid till april 2023. I have to travel india in january for some reason and will be coming back in feb last week. Can I enter in canada on study permit or do i need to apply for work permit immediately. I am confused as hell, please help me out with genuine reason with reference. Second is, can I continue doing part time job as my studies are over now and I didn't apply for any PGWP right now. Please, help me out if someone has faced the same issue. Thank you so much.

Hello guys,
I have not received any email from IRCC in August that I am eligible to work till May 31, 2023.
I did receive the email that I might be eligible for Interim Work Authorization.
Please suggest what should I do? Should I contact IRCC or apply for apply for Work permit extension.
My WP is expiring on 17th Dec, 2022.

what do you mean by a valid visa? I just have my study permit S1 visa till april 2023, but everyone says that after graduating from college, study permit gets expired. What if i try to apply PGWP as soon as I get my marksheet and then travel to india. While coming back is there any issue ?

Do you have a valid TRV? If not you need a TRV to re-enter Canada.
