Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)

[jahsjsjd]

Hi Everyone, Does anyone get rejected/refused for work permit for working 23-34 hours per week during full time study.
And how does CIC check / Verify the hours ?

Hey, how did it go?

My experience- Single files processing is fast and mostly within processing days, With dependent it can take one or two months extra.
In any case it is good to Wait for extra 15-20 days before contacting local MP, they can definitely help.

Is there anyone still waiting for PGWP, single applicant, applied before September from provinces apart from Ontario?

30th July in BC!

31st July in BC!

Why? Do you know the reason behind the delay?

Why? Do you know the reason behind the delay?

I suppose it’s because they study permit expired and I had to wait a month before I applied for my PGWP (including the reinstating fees) and I had to resend my transcripts. Other than that I have no idea why.

Did you guys happen to receive another letter from IRCC to extend the expiry date while waiting on the approval of the work permit?

Hi - Did you apply inland?

Hi - Did you apply inland?

Also, was it a visitor visa for your dependent or study permit. Thank you.

Hello everyone

The processing time from where I have applied is decreasing. However, I haven't seen any progress in my application. I would appreciate it if someone could help me figure out what to do?

You have to know even if the time decreases it's not 100% quick to affect your file. Follow the processing time when you applied.

Some pages of the CIC website are not the ones I expected to see when I click the "View submitted application or upload documents". Is it just me who experience this technical issue or am I not the only one?

What difference do you see?

Hi guys! I applied for a open work permit on Sept 4th inland and I didn’t hear anything from IRCC yet. I’m in Nova Scotia. What should I do? There are opportunities to work here and I can’t even start it. I came With my wife who is an international student.

You can work as soon as you submit your PGWP app, follow the guidelines on the website.

Cases like that do take time, would suggest to get GCMS notes to know what's happening.
