Hi all,
Wanted to share our experience of flagpoling. My wife was a student in Canada for January 2021 term. She completed her course and CO-OP in January 2022 and applied for PGWP on 22nd January 2022. She got a job and started working on maintained status.
My Spouse open work was applied from India in March 2021 and it is still under process, I received a additional document request on March 15th asking Spouse job letter, pay slips, bank statement and ongoing relationship proof. I was given a time of 120 days to submit these document, We submitted the documents on 18th March.
We thought may be due to her being on maintained status, they are holding back on processing my work permit till they finalize hers first. So we decided to try flagpoling. Her TRV is valid till april 30th 2022.
Flagpoling was done on Rainbow bridge at Niagara falls today. She crossed the bridge as a pedestrian at around 7.45 AM, went to the US customs, informed she is here for flagpoling, they handed her the administrative refusal, she walked back to the canadian side.
The officer, took her administrative paper, passport and study permit, after a while came and asked for her transcripts, course completion letter. An hour later he came back and informed he is approving her work permit for a year and handed her the work permit after payment of fees.
Now we successfully linked this work permit to her GC key account and raised a webform for withdrawal of previous online work permit.
Please be aware at this particular point flagpoling is allowed only on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 8 A.M to midnight.

Hay thank you for the information. I have a quick question your answer greatly helps. I have applied for PGWP on October21 2021 Its still under processing. Review not even started. Do you suggest us to go for flagpoling..? I live in Calgary.
Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone has experience regarding sending IRCC job offer to potentially speed up the PGWP.
Also, what are the chance of PGWP rejection, given I applied for my PGWP 20 days after my study permit expired (restored student status, attached receipt + explanation letter)? Really hope to chat with someone who's on the same boat, because I've been anxious about my PGWP case and will be until a decision is made...

Hey,
Is your TRV on your passport still valid? also is it less than 180 days since you graduated? if so you may try. But since it is almost a 5 month gap after you applied for your PGWP, flagpoling could be a tad bit riskier.
Hi All. I just received update for my PGWP application. It is approved.
Application date - December 3rd 2021
So any idea when will I get the work permit? It just says approved in the portal.
