I applied on May 14th. I hope I get mine soon. Because the cic website says 99 days or they're still working on the march applicants. How come some already got theirs? it's never clear?

I guess the time depends on your home country. The Canadian visa office/embassy in your country is the one who will process it. So maybe those who got approved in the 38-40ish days came from the same country.

You got yours na? I didn't know sa Manila pala nila e process yan. I hope so too. Anxious na ako hehe
Yup. Check all your permits, Manila nakalagay sa taas. So even if we applied here sa Canada, they will forward them to Manila. Hindi ko pa nakuha ung akin, mauuna ka definitely by one day :)

English please we all stressed rn
You can check where they process your papers on the visa that they put in your passport. I told her she will definitely get her PGWP a day before me because in the previous reply on this thread she said that she applied last May 14, and I applied May 15.

I have a question:
in the year 2000, I graduated from a College in Canada, and I could work just for ONE year after Graduation, in a field related to the one I studied.(It was a Working Permit)

Back to Canada in 2017, graduated again in 2019...I have sent my PGWP request last May 21...but now I have a doubt:
- one of the point to obtain the pgwp is that I never had to get one...

Does that "post graduation permit" in year 2000 count as valid pgwp even if the rules where completely different at that time??

I know that PGWP where completely changed in 2008...

Because if they count it, for sure I will get rejected I think...and even worst I am working at the moment with a regular contract, I will risk to loose the job.

PS. For my age, my points are not enough to qualify for a Express Entry draft.

Thanks in advance.
