Hi Everyone,

Need little help. I have applied for PGWP and did the payment. However, my application is not showing under submitted
I am wondering why its not showing under submitted. Did I miss anything?
Under not yet submitted, it shows message Processing Payment.
if this is ok??? I am little worried.

Don't worry, it will show up initially as processing payment, and will change later in a few hours. You will get messages saying they have received your application in the next few days

Thanks for the reply. Do you happen to know anyone applied earlier who got their PGWP already?

My buddy went to border to flagpole and got PGWP in a day... so jealous

Hay guys, I got my work permit approval email today ..march 30th.
I studied 1 year graduate certificate and a normal trade certificate(i extended my study permit for this) and got the permit for 3 years.
My name was given twice on work permit(like steyn smith steyn smith) as i have given the name again on the last name, because i don't have a last name on passport.Do u guys know how to change name on it?Hope it won't create any problems in future
I took a 3 months break between courses and did not worked on sin.
Thank u all

I applied only with the degree completion letter and they issued my pgwp.

Things move really slow these days eh...
I checked on the website today it says they're processing the applications submitted early April. (under the category work permit(new employer)
Not sure if that's specifically for PGWP.

Thanks for sharing. @mas021
