Good Morning All, need some advice, my friend was refused pgwp yesterday, because she applied inside Canada however she returned home to visit her family they said it was denied because she was not in Canada, her student visa and trv also expired.. Question can she reapply for pgwp from outside Canada agan she is still within 180 days??? Need any advise to move forward, we are distressed at this time. Thanksss

Hi, I actually went to USA for one week after applying my pgwp, Currently in Canada but went to USA for 1 week to attend cousin's wedding. Do you think that will be a problem ?

You are allowed to leave canada after applying for pgwp, that person probably had some other issue.

Hi,
I have applied for a post-graduation work permit extension because it expires early due to my passport's validity. It has been 4 months, and the application is still in process. My question is, I got married last week and if I update my marital status in my application then will it take more time to get the work permit??
Thanks.

Hearing that people who applied in early March already got their permits is a relief! The CIC's processing times page says they're still working on applications from February 26th, which had me very worried as my job offer isn't gonna wait forever.

I applied on March 18th, and got my no update email 8 days ago. Anybody who applied around the same time had any luck so far?

Thank you for pointing that out! Indeed I went right after sending that message yesterday to my account, and checked the box. I got a "no update" email right after checking it.

I checked my account today again and saw that my PGWP had been approved! Yayy! I still havent received a message though, I just saw it in the updates showing my applications Final Decision.

So for my timeline:

Applied : March 15
No Update email: April 27
Application Approved: April 28.

Total waiting days: 44 days

Still waiting on the approval email/message.

However, I applied for my PGWP outside canada. I am wondering what to do now about the TRV application, hopefully they mention that in my letter because my TRV is expired now.
