Me too, I have a job offer. I applied on September 3rd, still nothing. Today I sent my job offer through webfrom and explain I'll lose my job offer if I don't receive my WP by January. Do you think they consider this? I'm so stressed about this. I talked to an IRCC agent, she told me only if your job offer it's related to health, they are going to speed up the process.
Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)
- Thread starter A_Smile
- Start date
Based on this, the program is enough. However to be sure you should call IRCC and ask about this or ask your international student advisors at your University.
anyone got the approvals yesterday?
Please kindly share the timeline.

Can't you work under implied status, I got a job offer for Sept 15 and applied for my work permit the day before (I hadn't had any work before). I finished my last class by end of aug so it took my school quite some time to finalize my graduation (and get that letter of graduation).
My employer are understanding (I think most do for tech position) of this, they know the whole implied status thingy. Though, if you would be working outside of Canada then I understand the need for it.
That's weird. Does the HR know you can work under implied status till you get PGWP processed ?
In my experience, most medium-big companies HR's are aware of this. They don't even bring up my immigration status on job offer, cuz they know I will apply PGWP once I graduate (and in their eyes, its the same as hiring locals).
Hmm that's really weird. Most of my friend who work in tech or finance didn't have issue with that. They only ask for your study permit, proof of application for PGWP and letter of graduation. But then again, this is for medium-big companies along with some highly paying startups
Did you post your job offer when applying for webform ?. I feel like you're in a hard position as technically its the employer's fault for not being aware with the law. Maybe contact your local MP. If you are lucky, they will expedite the process without many bureaucracy involved.

Same for me, I am working under implied status. My HR asked for the work permit, but I told her that I have applied for it and gave the PGWP application submission letter.
Hello!
Sorry for bothering. I was wondering how I can tell when a eligibility review starts for my application. I logged in this morning to see a status update, but when I clicked into my application. I don't see much difference.
Is it about the application status? It looks shorter, but I can't remember what it exactly says before. And it could definitely be anxiety just playing tricks on me.
I applied in Ontario on 31 August. And I've seen people here getting their approval when they applied around 27-28 Aug and 3-9 Sept. So it's quite worrying.
Sorry for the long post, and thank you!

"Review of Eligibility" should read "We are reviewing......." if the review has started, if not it should read "Your application is in progress, we will send you a message when we start reviewing your eligibility".
