I really don’t understand why it’s so slow. A couple of months ago they were processing permits in q matter of days, my friend applied on May 19th and absolutely nothing has changed, as well as lots of people on this forum.

They are zombie walking through the applications. No choice but to wait

Hello, I've applied for PGWP outside Canada (IND) on May 18th, 2021. My eligibility review has not started yet and the current processing time is 19 weeks.

Is there anyone who applied from India around the same time and received their final decision? If yes, what was the time line? I am really concerned as my full time job offer is on hold as I'm unable to travel.

If you had a job offer, you really shouldn't have travelled abroad. PGWP for outland candidates is extremely low priority judging by inconsistent and long processing times

Try calling the IRCC for an urgent referral https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/temporary-residents/foreign-workers/eligibility/urgent-referrals.html

Unfortunately, it was an emergency (due to death in the family). So, had to travel.

I did see some guy on reddit applied from outland on may 18 and got it yesterday so yeah outland applications are not "slow", just "unpredictable" lol. But overall I do think inland should be faster.
