Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)

[fakelucio]

Hello Everyone,
I would like to know if there are any ways to increase the processing time of my PGWP application.
I've got a job offer and I'm not sure if they will accept me without a valid PGWP.

unless your job is classified as essential service. otherwise having a job offer won't accelerate your processing

No it doesn't. See https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/work/after-graduation/after-you-apply.html

and https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/temporary-residents/study-permits/post-graduation-work-permit-program/permit.html#authorization

You lose implied work permit status as soon as you exit, they might let you in on visitor status but still allow you to work. Not clear what the practical difference is.

How do you know when eligibility review starts? My application states "We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements." along with "We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements.". This has been the case sine March 1st.

I submitted the application on February 28th, out of Canada PGWP application

That's why they didn't made any decisions on your application because the VFS office in other countries is closed even if you get approval you need the trv stamp to come back to Canada I think they kept your application on hold as of now as soon as the office open they will review and will approve the application

May 3rd applicant here. My application status just changed to,

• We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements.

I expect that a decision will be made soon *fingers crossed*.
