Hi guys,

I applied on 3rd Apr and still waiting for pgwp however my all friends literally all of them got work permit on 5th and 6th June and they applied on 18th Apr.
So we had the same course which is masters for 2 years from university of Alberta.

Why mine is still under processing.

If you guys can share your experience that would be a great help.

Thanks

Applied : 8 march
Approved :june 7

Good luck everyone.

That’s indeed a long wait!!!

@newgrad2019 did you see how it works... :(
Some process fast while some are slow!

Also I think it has to do with the web form for those who didn’t submit some sort of document!!! And web form makes the application process faster “I think”
:rolleyes:o_O

Thank you so much for your reply. hopefully i get approved because i failed courses in semesters and had to take two extra semesters to complete those courses. ended up getting 2.3 GPA.
