Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)
- Thread starter A_Smile
- Start date
Does anyone know how the in Canada component of the PGWP is calculated. Website says for courses over 12 months, courses completed in Canada shall be atleast 50%. It explicitly mentions courses. What about masters thesis? Do they assess on number of credits in Canada or number or courses? So is a thesis considered as 1 course?
Wow, it really looks like May applicants won't get decisions before November.
Probably the wrong thread to ask as people in this thread are most likely not affected by these measures.
Maybe, but it may be earlier as CPC Edmonton could shift their focus from trying to clear the backlog of study permit applicants before the add/drop deadlines to instead returning to their usual duties of clearing the backlog of in-Canada SP/WP applicants. Don't quote me on that, just speculating. They managed to process almost 26,000 PGWP applicants over April, May and June 2020 (vs about 28,000 applications same time last year) [source] despite the entire operation going remote and a big portion of the applications not being processed due to biometrics. I can't get the numbers on the size of the backlog, but I believe a significant portion of May/June applicants got quick approvals if their biometrics were already on file, which means things should speed up once they reach May/June applicants.
So true .... never expected it would tk so long. I had dedinitely read some posts of ppl from previous year that they got it approved after 7 months and never had thought this would befall on me too. Its actually frustrating .... they havent started any april ones I guess. Lets hope for the best now.
I applied from outside of Canada my file is being processed in Kenya.. A request for my Medicals came in March and I passed the medicals and I had biometrics done while I was in Canada.. nothing has been updated on my profile since March. Still waiting.
what’s your situation?
yes i know for those who came in 2019 have done biometrics before onboarding and its valid for 10 years. So, in that case who ever applied got within 12 days that was in June and july. Now i am not sure
I applied on papers (Edmonton )to change the conditions on my PGWP.
I took medical exams because I want to work in an health field occupation.
My application was received on 13th July 2020.
Any one with same case knows the processing time?
Anyone applied on paper to change the conditions from inside Canada and got approved ?
Thank you
