Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)
- Thread starter A_Smile
- Start date
I’m so worried to apply for coop work permit as I might need to travel urgently outside of Canada in April. My study permit is also expiring this April 2023 so I need to apply for that either way. Should I not apply for coop work permit alongside study permit extension since it is taking so long?
Hey Everyone, My pgwp was approved on Oct 16 and I got my counterfoil stamped on Dec 21, and I was supposed to receive my passport on Dec 30. I tracked my passport on Canada Post website, it says it was delivered on Dec 30 but when I checked my mailbox there is nothing. I tried contacting canada post so many times but they can't even tell me the address where it was delivered and I am so concerned and helpless I don't know what to do. I have a proof of what address I put on the return package, its correct and my address is my home, but it wasn't delivered. Whenever I get hold of CanadaPost they say to contact sender but canada immigration can't do anything about it. I don't know who to contact. Now I'm an immigrant in Canada and I don't even have my passport, I don't know what to do. ): Can someone please tell me who to contact .. and please don't use CanadaPost their customer service is terrible and I feel so helpless because of them. And I just lost the my passport which had my canada visa, us visa which I can't replace on a new passport.
In Mississauga we have community lockers and usually documents or small parcels will be delivered to our community mailbox(these are usually located on the side of our community street) which are different from regular mailbox slots at our door. If your landlord have it usually it will be delivered there securely! And landlord will have a key to open it!
Hopefully they do.
I noticed one or two approvals in FB. WP number starts with 3067 series.
You have to make this decision. You must know your priorities and make a decision that works for you. IRCC's processing time is unreliable.
I don't think anyone's opinion would help.
A co-op work permit is way different than a PGWP work permit. When I was in the study period I also had co-op in my semester so because of covid I got my study permit for a shorter duration so I extended my study permit. Extending your co-op (work)permit is part of your study permit. So, the processing time for study permit extensions is different.
Oh I see. So if I apply for study permit extension and also tick the box for coop work permit, the whole application will just be seen as a study permit extension, which has a different processing time than the work permits (initial and extension), right? If so, I will apply for both itself. Thank you so much
Just thought to update for everyone’s benefit.

Hello everyone,
I recieved my work permit on 23rd December and immediately applied for a trv.
Today, I received an approval letter for my trv (applied inside canada) in my email today but my status hasnt been updated on the portal. I also havent recieved my instruction letter. I was wondering if i can send my passport in now with the letter of approval recieved in the email. I would really appreciate if somebody could share their instruction letter with me, so i dont get anything wrong.
I realise that i should be posting on trv forum, but that forum has been spammed by two, three individuals having impromptu conversations with other messages missed by patrons.
Thank you and hope everyone is doing well.
