Hi fellas , is it possible to start online study from India and directly apply PGWP when the program completes or it’s mandatory to have study permit in hand before starting online studies outside Canada ?
Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)
- Thread starter A_Smile
- Start date
Even I haven’t got my result. On the website they updated last week that they are finalizing applications received between jan 10 and 16, and i applied on jan 16th so i should have got any result last week but still no update. Whenever i call them, they always say its still in process. I sent 2 webforms and got the same answer.
I have a question that for checking on which files they are working on this week, do PGWP comes on the study permit option because when i checked it, it says that for study permit, study permit extension and WORK PERMIT for students, they are finalizing applications received between december 27 and jan 2.
But when i check the option “work permit” and then the initial option. It says they are working on application between jan 10 and jan 16.
So i think i have to go with the study permit option right? As there is a next update today afternoon which means they will hopefully work on the applications recieved between jan 10 and jan 16. i dont know if i am correct or wrong. Does anyone have an idea about it?

Hi Yes, It will be 1 Year program.
I will get it for 1 year but my doubt is, from which start date will they start counting 1 year :
1. LIke date when PGWP is approved or the date when I applied for PGWP?
2. Also how many days/month does it take for PGWP approvals?
Thank you !
Hi You have 2 different questions here .
To answer 1. Yes you can start an online study from India . But for applying for PGWP, you need study permit which you can only receive on Canada Border entry. So you need to travel to Canada to get the study permit.
2. You do not need a study permit in hand before starting the studies, you can start on AIP or study permit approval.
PGWP comes on work permit inside Canada ( Initial ).
And those are just average processing times, some cases can take longer.
Did you apply for GCMS notes?
I have requested GCMS notes. Do you know how long does it take nowadays.
and i will try to get in touch with thelocal MP too.

Does anyone know how long does it take to get the physical copy of the work permit after the date of the approval?
