Hi mkeu, did you contact your MP? The agent told me December 1st too, but my MP's office is saying 1-2 weeks. I'm waiting for a call back from the MP's office today to get some clarity on this matter. I applied in June. If you applied in May, surely your MP should help push it forward. Good luck.mkeu said:I applied in May 28th and still waiting.
The agent told me that I may only expect it to be done by Dec 2nd.
Your Member of Parliament's local office. That is what everyone who's applications are delayed has been doing, because the MP's office can get more info about our file than we can when we call CIC. And if the MP is really helpful, they help push it forward. For info, please go to the Foreign Worker's section and look for the thread - "Let's share timeline, PGWP March applicant". It is where the majority of PGWP applicants are discussing their timelines and any information relating to the application..mkeu said:
Hi, i applied for the PGWP in June 26, but i am also still waiting for the approval. The cic website said that the they are Working on applications submitted on July 05!!!mets15 said:Yeah, just means that an officer has opened your application.. don't get too excited, I got two of those so far and I am a June applicant, still waiting for the approval
does this mean i am refused ?
I applied May 28th, still waiting. I've called CIC and have been told the delay is due to "document verification."
Hey there,tuxiaobao said:
Yes I called, they had me fax them a consent form to find out info for me. I even visited personally on Friday. I actually saw my MP there working lol. Didn't expect that. But definitely reach out to the MP, they can get more detailed info than CIC will give to us. Good luck.
Hi, I also applied on that day! I am still waiting but my application was approved on October 20th. My officer just did not officially approve it that day, made a note to go back and do it in the next 6 weeks :'(lovecanadalol000 said:
I don't know why he would do that. Anyways, CIC call agents have confirmed that for me as well as my MP's office. So now I am just waiting for him to hit the approve button. My MP's office confidently says it will happen this week so let's see.. Good luck!
Even I had similar experience... I had applied on Aug 20.. When I logged in to check there were no updates.samroc said:
Its a very bad system and very hard to get hold of CIC folks.
