Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)

[Dilpreet435]

Apparently, there has been an update regarding pgwp … you need a new supporting document “leave from studies” . Does this apply to applications that have been submitted already. Does anyone has more information about this?
Here is the quote from government of canada

Leave from studies
If the applicant remained in Canada while a student and took leave from their studies during their program, the officer must determine if the applicant was compliant with the conditions of their study permit, as outlined in Assessing study permit conditions. If the applicant took a period of leave that was authorized by their DLI at any time during their studies, they must include documentation proving the leave was authorized by the DLI with their application. Officers may request additional documents to complete their assessment. Per paragraph R220.1(1)(b), students must

• be enrolled at a DLI
• remain enrolled
• be actively pursuing their course or program of study

If the officer determines that the student actively pursued studies during their leave, the student may still be eligible for the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program (PGWPP).

If it is determined that the student has not met the conditions of their study permit, they may be banned from applying for a post-graduation work permit for 6 months from the date they stopped their unauthorized study or work, per subparagraph R200(3)(e)(i).

This was always there. It's applicable if you had taken a break from your studies due to some reason. In such cases, you need to explain to the IRCC officer what were the reason(s) for doing so.

In such cases since it's out of your control, the 'leave from studies' requirements won't be applicable.

That's sweet. Free 4 months on a one-year PGWP gives a little bit of leeway.

What do you mean? Are you refering that expiry date on the Wp-Ext for PGWP?

 

[cooky.sonu]

My study permit was valid till 31st dec and so was SIN, now the employer is saying that your sin is expired on 31st dec, they need me to renew it but it can be only renewed once I get work permit which I applied on 10th september and not heard from them yet

P
I think you can continue working even if your SIN has expired until you get your actual Work Permit.
