Hi all
I was wondering if anyone has had their case sent to review by a Team Leader at Vegreville and do you have a timeline for when they look at it to a decision being made?
I applied for PGWP on Oct. 27th. I got a letter in December dated December 5th that my application was denied because I didn't pay. I contacted the Call Center showing I had (had my receipt number issued by them etc.). The call Centre identified the mistake and sent an email on Dec. 18th to the Case Centre in Vegreville. On Jan. 3rd there was a note put on my file that "it is being renewed by a Team Leader". So I am just wondering if anyone ever had a similar situation. It is just very frustrating as my contract for work and my last visa ended Nov. 30th and obviously I cannot get a new job as I do not have a valid work permit (so it is not like my contract was still on and I could have had implied status). No one is able to hire me or even want to go through an interview process since I am very much in limbo. It is now going well into the 2nd month of noth being able to work and I am very frustrated because this was an error on their part and for such a visa that usually takes one month. I usually call the Call Centre everyday hoping to hear the magic words. At this point I just want a decision, either way, so I can know if I can stay and work or leave the country and go somewhere else. Not the best start to 2013. Am trying to stay positive.
