My application was submitted with my official transcripts. I have nothing further to include in my application. If I am to submit a webform, it would be an inquiry of processing progress which I feel is kind of pointlessDid you submit a webform with your original transcript after you submitted the application with unofficial transcripts?
Mine has 186(w) as well. Not sure how different they are supposed to beAre you use you are 186(u)? Mine says 186(w)
From what I've read, w is for PGWP, (u) is for some other work permitMine has 186(w) as well. Not sure how different they are supposed to be
In my original application I submitted the transcript obtained from university website (un-official), which is accepted. However, in that time it wasn't the FINAL transcript (it didn't say that I finished the program, although I sent the official letter). So, when I got access to my final transcript (un-official), I uploaded it by webform. I don't know if it worked, but I received a standard e-mail some days after, saying that they received the webform. Applied on sep 12th and no updates since then.Did you submit a webform with your original transcript after you submitted the application with unofficial transcripts?
Congratulations, that's great for you
pls update your status if anything changes.Hello, anyone within August application from ON with an approval or update. Also i received a letter saying that i can work until a decision is made or dec 16, so if a decision is not made by dec 16 do i have to stop working? any one to help?
No.Can we apply for trv without getting our PGWP approved?
I found an interesting clause on the program delivery instructions, which states that the authority of paragraph R186 still stands despite the date stated in the WP-EXT letter. The date only serves to satisfy potential employers that anyone on maintained status is authorized to work while waiting on a decision on their PGWP application, and has no effect on the duration of the maintained status itself.True, but I just stick with the more stringent rule/condition so as not to give them any reason for rejection. Can't always rely on hopefully getting a linient case officer.
July 30th here and still waiting too. So frustrating.Not yet, July 30th and still waiting. They haven’t begun processing my eligibility either. but I do hope I hear something by Friday
This is not applicable to PGWP applicants. PGWP applicants fall under R186(w)I found an interesting clause on the program delivery instructions, which states that the authority of paragraph R186 still stands despite the date stated in the WP-EXT letter. The date only serves to satisfy potential employers that anyone on maintained status is authorized to work while waiting on a decision on their PGWP application, and has no effect on the duration of the maintained status itself.
Quoting the Letter Validity clause under Interim Proof of Work, found at https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/temporary-residents/foreign-workers/work-without-permit/authorization-work-without-work-permit-implied-status.html:
"Officers should understand that the validity date of the letter in no way overrides the authority of paragraph R186(u), which allows foreign nationals who meet the requirements to continue working until a final decision is made on their work permit renewal application or the foreign national leaves Canada.
The letter has a 120-day validity from the date of receipt, which corresponds with IRCC’s service standard for in-Canada applications. Historically, IRCC meets its service standard more than 90% of the time; therefore, only a few applicants will require a new letter. Most should receive a decision before the 120 days have expired."
To add:
"The letter is provided to applicants as proof that they have continued authorization to work, and the validity date is added to give employers and other stakeholders a more concrete period of time of authorized work. IRCC has found in the past that employers and stakeholders are reluctant to accept an unknown period such as “until a decision is made.”"
Hope this helps to clear the confusion around maintained status length / validity.
We did call about this exactly same issue and got en email from IRCC:Please share what the IRCC officer says, I tried calling to inquire but since it wasn't an emergency because of Afghanistan crisis, I wasn't able to get through to one. I will stop working for sure when my date reaches, but I'm curious about what the IRCC says about it's contradictory messaging.
