Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)
- Thread starter A_Smile
- Start date
I applied first, when I get approved, then I will apply for my wife's open work permit extension. She holds an open work permit since 2017. We could've applied together but her passport is expiring soon that was why we postponed her extension application. We still need to wait for her new passport.
If you apply thru flagpole they will ask for it. I accompanied my friend to the border and they asked her to pay and submit for biometrics. I don't think they will ask for biometrics if online because they didn't ask us to pay for it.
No. Their permits will depend on the study permit whether it's approved or not. That was why when I first applied for my study permit, I only applied alone. When I got the approval, I applied for their TRVs only. We applied for my wife's OWP when we reached Vancouver Intl Airport (POE) because it will only take 30 mins there vs 10 weeks online processing time. After 2 mos, I applied for my daughter's study permit too eventhough she can study in middle school without it. I just thought that it's safer that she has her own study permit because I can attach her to my MSP. Without the study permit, she doesn't have her own healthcare card.
Mine is 172 days and no updates till now. Applied last February 5, 2019, for PGWP. Been waiting for so long, sending email to CIC Webform for four times. Same reply I get. The application still on process. Called CIC for three times, the last time last July 10, 2019. The agent told me that I have an open application still on process, that every officer is different, etc.....all I need is to wait. I'm so stressed right now.....
im not confident. i can only hope. people waiting since feb. IDK why they taking this much time. hope they get approved cz they feeling they going through rn ony they can understand it.

Select temporary residence and then work permit extension.
They are only working on April applications at this point.
It’s at 95 days processing minimum. Try not to worry until your 95 days has passed, or else you will have a long 3 months of waiting.
Well i think there’s difference between PGWP and holding a work permit and want to extend it. if they are working on April application how people applied between April 25 to may 12 got there approved in an average of 45 days. it all depends on number of files they got. That’s my point of view.
