From another thread by goldencanada. I'm in the same boat. I guess some people do apply online (as just graduating students) and using letter of explanation to explain their situation. I think paper application would be better though. Unfortunately unlike the online one you can't follow it and...

From another thread by goldencanada. I'm in the same boat.. Will be applying for extension soon. I heard doing it on paper is easier, as the online system doesn't have an option for PGWP extension.

Hi, What's the country she will be applying from? I was in your boat not too long ago - long distance relationship for 3 years, got married and then she came here (just 2 weeks ago). What I wanted to do was wait for my PGWP (which took like 200 days) and then, since I work in the required NOC...

Thank you! I forgot to mention, I already have a job in the required NOC as a web designer. So she should be able to apply together with my extension application? Thanks again.

Thank you. That makes sense. I guess I'll have to do a paper application, since the online portal asks for LMIA and there's no way to bypass it.

I got my PGWP after almost 200 days of waiting... Unfortunately my passport expires in a few weeks. So I went and got a new one. And now I can apply to extend my PGWP. However going to the CIC website I got confused. I am working full time as web developer. I do have a written job offer, but...

I recently got my PGWP (after almost a 200 day wait). Unfortunately my passport was expiring short after, so now that I got my new passport I have to re-apply for PGWP (extend it). My wife came to Canada about 2 weeks ago on a visitor visa. I heard it's possible for her to apply for an OWP. I...

Hi, Yes, it was like that for me too. I think you are approved already. Give it a day or two. They are not very good at updating their website.

Thank you for your input & advice. I will be flying to Toronto (from Calgary) beginning of next week. There is a consulate there, and I can get a new passport, because I don't think my wife can renew my passport without me there. Now that I think more clearly, and not out of frustration, may be...

I spoke too soon and out of frustration. I stand corrected. Now I know if we aren't together it's pretty much my fault. :-X Thank you for the info. I will re-apply for PGWP as soon as I get my new passport. Do I apply for extension or just the same way I did originally? I wonder if I can...

Applied: May 5th, 2015 Blank Updates: Aug 15, October 30 Request for $100: August 20th Approval: November 18th, 2015 (198 days) Mail Delivery: Not Yet Problem: My passport expires on January 18, 2016. So my permit will be valid just a month or so :o :-X I don't know what to do. My wife has...

May 5 applicant. paid $100 on Aug. 20 Blank update on Oct. 31 Still waiting... Separated from my wife for 6 months now. She can't apply for OWP before I get my PGWP. :(

I applied May 5th. Received notification I need to pay extra $100 on Sept. 10! CIC agent told me it wasn't my fault. There was a system error and it never asked me for this work permit holder fee before. I payed it on Sept. 12. Nothing yet. I'm waiting for over 6 months now. My wife can't...

Hello, friends. I am working in NOC skill level A as a Web designer. I graduated from SAIT in Calgary in April. Applied for PGWP on May 5th and I'm still waiting to receive it... . Anyway. I know there's nothing I can do there. Just patiently wait. Meanwhile we filled all the papers needed...

I was in the same situation. A CIC agent said it's a bug on their website. Submit a word doc that you are applying from within Canada and you don't have any travel plans. Cheers

Thank you for your advice. I will wait until I get my PGWP and give my payslips. I have worked part time while I was in school. So my payslips are for around 1000 each month. I will be working full time from April 20. Would it be enough and OK if I showed my latest payslip (for the month of may...

I have been in Canada for about 7 years as an international student. I am done with my studies and I will have an official document to send over to CIC within a week. I will apply for my PGWP. I recently got married and my wife is currently living back home, in Bulgaria. She is going to apply...

Got it. Thank you! It's just that the former for TRV only asks for an invitation letter from me. And I have to be either a citizen or a PR in order to write it. But I hope that's not the case when she applies for both OWP and TRV. Thank you.

I will have a PGWP and NOC A, B or 0 in may. So she will apply for OWP then. But does the work permit grant her the right to enter Canada? Or does she still need a visa? Thank you!
