The job offer is received after 90 days. So do you mean that if I received the offer within the 90-day window, even that I have passed 90 days now when I flagpole, I can still have a chance to get it? Also the cic processing time has not been updated since September 2nd....
I meant you could’ve done flagpole within your 90 days, now it has passsed, you should not flagpole

My completion letter is over 90 days, but the date on my official transcript is july 27
I see. I don't see a date on my transcript though.. It only shows the date that I requested to print.. Don't know how the border officers will react to it. Please keep us updated if you go to the border tomorrow. Good luck!

Application approved: Sept 18, 2018

It took a looong time, but finally happened!
My husband and I received work permits valid until the expiry date of his passport but we will definitely extend our work permits if we won't get permanent residence sooner ;)

Good luck, guys!

Hello,
Anyone who needed a medical exam due to the nature of their work related to a health field? Did your application approval take longer?
Happy to read some positive news on pgwp approvals lately on this forum.
anyone who applied in the last week of july, please share approval dates!

Hey guys, I would like to update with you guys that I went flagpoling today and I managed to get my PGWP!! I really did not expect that. I was desperate and hopeless at first lol. So as I mentioned before, I applied online on Aug 18th, and I got a job offer last week. I went to Queenston Lewiston Bridge. In fact I have passed the 90-day window already even with my graduate certificate (June 11, 2018), but the officer thought that I was still in 90 days so she issued me one. I also explained that I have applied online but I don't want to miss the job offer so I don't mind paying twice. She just checked if I have ever studied part-time in the past four years (I only studied part-time in the last semester and had two co-op work term).
Here I am happy to answer questions and I hope you guys receive good news soon!!
