Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)

[russ6970]

After getting PGWP, do we need to update Visa on our passports? Because it is mentioned as student and expires on when my study permit ends.

One more , I applied PGWP on Sept 8th,hope currently Sept 2nd files are processing. I think I need to wait for more a week. please correct If I am wrong?

Don't know about the first bit as I am from the UK, but the processing time it seems is very hard to judge. I thought I would have had mine before I got it today. so I don't think anyone can give you a proper answer to that I'm afraid

Thank you, I was so worried as I transferred 33 credits from another university and had a year of exchange.

I thought I would get my PGWP for 8 months but fortunately I got it for 3.

Goodluck for the rest

What did u study? I mean it was a 1 year program or 2

Quick question, is the SIN we were given upon entry valid or do we need to apply for a new one now that we have our PGWP?

Did anyone here got 3 ir possibly 2 year PGWP with 1 year full time masters ? Please let me know

You need to go to Service Canada with your latest PGWP and need to upgrade you SIN

Btw, I have not received any email from CIC website yet. I just logged in to check my application status and saw that it's approved. I'll probably receive an email soon. Good luck everyone with your applications.

How long did it take for the message to arrive in your account. Got approved yesterday, still not got a message

Did she apply online or on paper. The processing times are different for both

Call CIC ASAP

this is indeed a matter of worry. you (applicant) should contact CIC helpline number to confirm what is happening?
what does it say online when you check the status?
