My french passport is biometric as well and I still need to give my biometrics
Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)
- Thread starter A_Smile
- Start date
I don’t think submitting a job offer would help speed up the process since pgwp is an open work permit.
I’ve never needed to give biometrics though. When I did the questionnaire, they said it was not needed.
yeah
I understand.. working under financial institution is considered essential work in Ontario and they said they are prioritising those applications on IRCC. I checked with an agent as well so I thought I would try my luck! Fingers crossed.Oh I wasn’t aware it’s essential service! Things might be looking good for you then. Best of luck! Just sharing my timeline here: applied for pgwp at late May. Started my full time job early June. Study permit expired on July 30th. Still waiting for decisions.
Still not sure though!! We never know what happens with IRCC. Hopefully :-( best of luck to you too. Oh dear, you applied for your pgwp last May and haven’t heard back?
Not an immigration expert, but if I were you, I would submit a copy of the front page containing your biodata and explain that you have a new passport. It won't make sense to scan and submit the unstamped/blank pages.
We appreciate that! We have some people here who have applied for their PGWP (without biometrics) since February up to present date. Keep checking here to see others' updates.
I applied back in early May without preexisting biometrics.
Hey! I'm in the same situation as you and might apply for a PGWP under the implied status of a study permit extension as I have not received that yet and I'm almost done with my course. Did you apply for a restoration + PGWP or just a PGWP?
Just found something interesting on another thread: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/bowp-tracker.597874/post-8761507
Guy said his friend applied for pgwp in May and received approval recently. I guess processing timeline is truly messed up now that we are hearing approvals for Jan and May pgwp applicants around the same time. Also if you check his other replies apparently his friend has never given biometrics either.

I applied for my post grad permit back in Feb (Jan 31st to be exact) and have yet to receive any updates. I paid for my biometrics fees too and haven't received a letter either. I am working full time on implied status right now at the same company I did my internship at but it's been very stressful. Anyone who applied in Jan/feb and haven't heard back?
Oh also my sin expired as well so yeah a mess!!
