Thanks for your reply.

I am Inland.

Apart from Passport, Photo, Study Completion Letter, and Transcripts, what documents need to be attached.?

Do I need to provide details or documents of any part-time jobs and co-op during my studies.?
In the application you are supposed to provide all the details where you had worked as part time and at co-op. No supporting documents are required though

Hi guys, I applied for PGWP on May 12th 2021, it then got transferred to Edmonton on August 20th. It’s been over 7 months and I haven’t got approval :( I tried to send webform but they never replied.
I need PGWP to renew my healthcare and license
How did you know they transferred your file to another city or province? Did they send you an email automatically?

I'm not sure about the co-op because I didn't have one. I believe others will be able to help you more. Sorry

Contacting MP sure works, let's say the processing time has been 90 days but it's been 5 months and no answer, for sure MPs inquiry will help a bit but not that much.

If your app is on hold or a complex case then it's hard, IRCC will take their sweet time.

May I know when you applied for PGWP?

Also what's your postal code so I can guide you on how to reach out to MP.
How do you reach MP?

Hi,


I applied for pgwp on Sep 8 and unfortunately, my application has not even been reviewed yet. I'm currently working and I'm allowed to work until Jan 6 according to the "WP-EXT for PGWP" letter. Does anybody know whether I can continue to work after this date if no decision is made on my application by then?
I only found the following webpage:

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/work-canada/permit/temporary/extend/after-apply.html?fbclid=IwAR1huWiP7honixlOkxuJLCAipFul6hC7fVPGX-DbkkG_e9rYUXizQvhvTY0

but it states "WP-EXT except PGWP " which I think is different from the "WP-EXT for PGWP" letter that pgwp applicants receive.

I'd appreciate any response and help.

I think we can continue working we just need to request another letter from ircc by the use of the webform. Please read paragraph R186(u) of this link https://laws.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/SOR-2002-227/section-186.html

And this link: You can read the entire page of this link
