PGWP Refusal - What to do next

Hello, the same thing happened to me. But in my case, I was a full-time student the whole time. I really think they made a mistake. How did you contact them? I have only re applied but I really need my pgwp approved asapHi! I got my PGWP rejected on July 15, 2022, for "not maintaining a full-time academic status in every academic semester." Initially, I had attached a letter of explanation with an explanation of why I took this one sem (Spring 2021) off due to a medical reason. However, the letter wasn't substantial enough according to the IRCC agent who I spoke with on the phone after the refusal. They looked at my case and realized the rejection may have been incidental and agreed to submit a reconsideration request on my behalf. They also asked me to write a substantial letter of explanation with evidence of why I needed to take Spring 2021 (academic semester) off and send it via a Webform. I did so on August 1, 2022, and got my PGWP approved on August 14, 2022.
It was definitely an emotionally challenging time for me where I would wake up with anxiety and would frantically check my email. However, if you have a strong reason for why you took the semesters you took off (supported by strong evidence), you should not need to worry about not getting a positive response for your reconsideration.
Good luck and let me know if you have any questions!
Thanks
Contacted them through the IRCC customer service number (1-800-855-0511 ) exactly at 8 am local time.
you were totally right. I called them today. The officer forwarded my request to the responsible office.
Will I be able to provide new documents to support my request? Were you ask to send anything else after you call them ?
Im sorry im asking to many questions
I'd really appreciate your help
thanks a lot
No worries! Ask as many questions as you want. I want to help.
Yes, absolutely you can. You must provide your documents via a web form and select the "additional documents to an existing application" drop-down menu option of the web form. They did ask me to provide more evidence and documents to justify my case better. If you have any further questions, please email me @ faiz.bandeali26@gmail.com
hi there, I am curious about the number you have mentioned as I only find some 1800 242 2100
So you weren’t full-time? What did you do during the co-op semester…were you working & retook the course?
So ask your college to change your transcripts to full-time and write a letter that you always were full-time and never part-time.
No one can tell you your chances since your transcript states part-time.
So college letter says you are full-time but transcript says part-time, correct? Again no one can tell you changes for reconsideration.
Does anyone knows about the step-by-step process for re-application for PGWP? I really need your help.
Since my study permit is already expired, I know that I should apply for restore my status for student. However, I'm not sure about what is the exact process for it.
Option 1, apply for PGWP, pay for PGWP fee and attached the receipts on my restoration of my status for student fee(that means no application form to fill out for student permit restoration)
Option 2, apply for PGWP, and apply for restoration of status as student seperately.
Can anyone knows about what option is correct?
