Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)

[russ6970]

Please don't wait for the University/college to send a letter. As soon as you take your final exam keep in contact with the Admissions officer of your course asking for the letter. Don't let the incompetence of the people working there (some, not all) ruin your chances for a PGWP, or at least delay you. Get in contact every couple of days for the letter. I done this, probably annoyed them, but I got the letter much faster than everyone else.

Hi!
No updates here?
My mother-in-law applied 37 days ago to her PGWP, on Feb 27th, and no answer until today.
Thanks!

Hi
I've applied on Feb 26 and there is still no reply as well. Yesterday I've opened an enquiry that my application is exceeding the normal processing time and got an email that they will respond to my enquiry within 10 business days.

It expired on March 30th.
Heard from a guy that applied on Feb 11th and got his approval on March 19th, so 36 days.

It is weird that they do not update the information about processing times. The last update was on Mar 18, but it is written that they should update it weekly.

Any updates? I still have no response.

Yeah I went through 8 months of turmoil.....finally it worked out.

Applied twice for PGWP, both times rejected.....reason was that I applied after study permit had expired. Primary reason was due to the university sending my letter of completion 2 months late, without that I could not apply for a PGWP.

Long story short, got the university involved and they finally drafted me a letter. Got approved for the 3rd time, despite having lost 2 job offers, I got a 3rd job offer that is the best one so far.

Cheers !!!!

This is the most encouragement story I have heard so far!
