It won’t be a problem as I too didn’t submit biometrics because of COVID and got the approval
Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)
- Thread starter A_Smile
- Start date
Thanks. When did you submit your application and from where? I am waiting since Sep 9.
Hi folks, I received Correspondence Letter on Dec 10, and the status was changed to Reviewing eligibility. I got approved today Dec 11. Applied on Sep 16. I have a friend who applied same day also got his wp today.
Congrats! I assumed that your case is straight forward so they are processing fast? Did you finish a program without gap and not provided any LOE?
Applied: Sept 18, 2020
Biometrics correspondence Letter: Dec 10, 2020
PGWP Approval: Dec 11, 2020
Even though I finished my 2 year MBA in 1 year, I was issued a 3 year PGWP. I only requested 1 year lol, guess the immigration officer was feeling generous that day
Good luck everyone!

Agree. It's been almost 7 months since I applied. Their system definitely requires some attention and modification. It's unacceptable.
I applied for pgwp in May, and no updates since then. I contacted them by phone, also asked local MP to help. The same response "please wait"
Hello,
Please I need help! my husbands work permit has been refused which means that my spousal permit has been refused also.
This is what they said:
"After considering all the circumstances of your case, your application for a work permit cannot be approved as requested as per section R203 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations. You do not possess a valid Labour Market Impact Assessment and Confirmation from Employment and Social Development Canada. Your prospective employer is responsible for obtaining this confirmation."
"Foreign students in Canada are eligible for a work permit for post-graduation employment on a one-time confirmation exemption that cannot be used again following the completion of any subsequent courses of study. You were formerly issued a work permit for post-graduation employment on October 29, 2019, and as such you are not eligible for another work permit in this category."
What should be our following steps to resubmit?
Do I have to pay restoration fee along with a new application fee?
Thank you

Kind of a stupid question, but can I now travel and re-enter Canada with my PGWP in-hand but with a student TRV stamped on my passport?
My student TRV expires in Nov 2021, so I should have my PR by then. Do I need to get a PGWP specific TRV or will the old one still work?

All TRVs are the same, the issue to re-enter is covid restrictions, having pgwp by itself might not be enough to be allowed entry
I applied for pgwp on 5 sept and my friend applied in august ,we both are still waiting,
