Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)
- Thread starter A_Smile
- Start date
Congratulations! Can you tell me on which number did you call them and through which app? I've been trying to call them around their office hours through textnow app since almost a week now but no luck.
I just a mail from IRCC stating that my study permit has been approved as i had a restoration. It is only valid for today and have sent the permit to my mailing address.My work permit application, it still says we are reviewing the eligibility. I was wandering if i fall in the inplied status or not?

You should be good as long as you haven't left the country since applying for work permit.
I got my work permit approved yesterday. Approval time: 2 weeks. Applied Dec 31, 2020. I expect the physical document to arrive within next week.
Thanks for your reply. I told him to submit a web form and call as soon as their lines open. All the best.
If you applied for work permit with restoration of status I don’t think you can start working until you get the work permit approved.
What I think they restored your status as a student and now they will process your work permit.
Just to clear up my mind did you apply your work permit with a restoration form?
I just paid the restoration fee and attached it with a LOE. On my ircc account it says we are reviewing your eligibility. And yesterday i just got a mail from the government saying that you study permit has been approved and a document has been sent. But it was issued only for a day.
Hi Everyone
I am posting my timeline here.
Applied: 28 Sept, 2020
ISSUE:: MAY BE HELPFUL FOR THOSE APPLYING AFTER THESIS PROGRAM
I did M.Sc. with thesis and I worked on my thesis in some of the terms. I did not take any courses during those terms. But it does not reflect on my transcripts. Immigration officer asked me to explain why I was not taking any courses during those terms. I submitted a letter and attached documents from my supervisor and university saying that I was a full time student during those terms and working on my thesis.
Finally got approved 1 week of submissions of the requested docs (on 14 Jan, 2021)
Thanks a lot guys. This forum helped a lot to track.

That's correct.... and the reason your application got delayed then other PGWP is because of the restoration as it changes the category you applied for as it is considered as restoration application... don't worry you will get a reply in few days..
though wait until you get the work permit approved before you start working again... also the reason you got just 1 day approval for study permit is they restored you as a student so they can process the work permit.....
