Not yet, I applied on May 20th, and I got my Biometrics collection letter on June 14th and also Workpermt - Ext on June 14th but nothing after that
Ohh! That’s a lot of wait time. It’s been more than 4months, have you checked with them? What’s taking so long. The processing time is around 4 months.

Hello,

I applied on July 22nd, received WP-EXT letter on July 23rd. No update after that.
How long will it take for work permit extension to get approved and if I travel to my home country when I am implied status, my status will be cancelled?

Could anyone let us know their timelines.

Many Thanks,
Sai Manasa

So you applied for a PGWP extension and how are you eligible?

I applied for my PGWP on May 28th, but I haven’t received any updates yet. Is anyone else in the same situation with a similar timeline?

Hey guys, i applied on July 6, 2024 & still haven’t heard back. Does anyone have similar timeline?

one more question is- does the processing time depend of whether you were part time or not in some semester? So basically, in my second last semester (spring 2024), i took 2 courses from my university and two from another. This was actually supposed to be my last semester, but unfortunately i failed two courses i took at my university, but passed the ones taken from another. So, i had take one course in next semester to fulfil program requirements. But i have attached the trancript from other university so that the officer knows i was doing two more courses in spring semester.

But my point is does such situation cause any delay in application processing?

Well it makes you ineligible for a PGWP so that may delay processing.

But many people are part time in some semesters due to certain reasons and still receive their pgwp. Even my university consultant said that i am not the only one who is in such situation, but with proper explanation officer knows the situation, and approves the application,
I was just asking does the decision get delayed in all such cases?

Processing is at least 4 months so there is no delay at this point.

Your travel to India won’t affect your status, but the entry. If you have a valid TRV stamp, you’re good to travel.
