Hello everyone

I applied for study permit extension in May 12th 2015, I called CIC on Aug 2nd 2015 and the agent told me that my application has been approved ( I also have an email from CIC that my study permit is valid until next year ) and he provides me with the document's number and expiration date. Further, he sent a note ( reminder ) to the "Operations Support Centre: Ottawa, Ontario " to print my document. However, it has been almost 5 moths now with no update in my online CIC and I didn't receive my study permit. When I called the cic the second time, the agent told me that they can't send a reminder unless a three months period pass from the first note (reminder). So now I finally graduate from university, can I apply for the PGWP now while waiting to receive my study permit doucment ?

Thanks in advance

Regards

best thing to do is call cic again and explain your situation telling them you have a approved confirmation , with that approval letter i think you are eligible to apply because while applying for a pGWP i think you dont need to send a study permit copy even will check in their system that you are a student with valid SP , so in my opinion nothing to worry but again just call and ask for a suggestion . Are you sure about your mail address that it was correct on application and didn't change your address after that. Good luck ...hope for the best!!!! :)

Thanks for your reply,

Its not approval letter from CIC, actually its an email from CIC agent to my enquiry about the application.

Sorry for not clarifying this.

I have another question, two days ago I got confirmation from the university that I am eligible to graduate this fall. Furthermore, I want to extend my TRV base on the study permit extention so I am wondering if its legal to do that since I got confirmation of eligliblity to graduate.

Thanks in advance

Well you can continue your studies as your SP app is under process and your TRV will only be renewed after the study permit approval .
Hope that hepls.... :)

Guys,

i would suggest giving some educated feedback to CIC. Something that lets them realize how difficult our life is becoming because of the delays but at the same time appreciating the hard work they must be doing due to whatever reason.

Yes. but seems it takes more than 150 days to process several pieces of paper. I'd rather believe everyday is holiday in CIC :p :p or time flies slower in CIC office. I applied on May 10th...Paid extra 100 on 10th Sep....Still waiting....

Hi everyone :)
I also applied my pgwp on May 25th i read posts over here the guys who applied after May for instance in June or July some of 'em received the pgwp. even though on cic website it says that they are working on May 16th applications.
Does anyone know how this work ?
ALSO i was thinking may be we all should go public on cbc for cic's processing time. Cuz i remember in June when cic was taking more than usual time to process Student Permit's applications some students complaint in different news channels and right after with in weeks their processing time went really down.
I think we pgwp applicants needs to choose the same path we could go to the "cbc go public" and tell them, perhaps then cic might work and respect the processing time. Its ridiculously frustrating and STRESSFULL.

PLS LET ME KNOW I WILL COME FORWARD OR ANYONE HAS OTHER SUGGESTIONS PLEASE COME FORWARD.

I agree we need to go public
you can go submit your story on CBC/gopublic
I am going to do so
mentioning the confusion and long processing times as well as how problematic for many previous students this turned to be both financially and mentally

I agree. Probably the best thing we can do now. I wanna go home to see my family but the way things are going it is very frustrating. I cannot change my job until i have the permit. Moreover we do not have any idea how much longer it is gonna take as the june applicants are receiving their permit already.

CIC
Last update as of today was October 9, 2015
CIC is currently processing applications submitted on May 16, 2015 - - - For 3 Weeks now
Official processing time as of today is 145 days for WP. Up by 7 days.
**New TRV (Inland) processing time for online applicants is 16 days
.

PLEASE NOTE:
1. Any PGWP applicants who visit this amazing forum and don't have their timeline profiles recorded on here should endeavour to provide their details truthfully. It helps everyone to keep track of things. If you want to be sure of your day counts please visit this site at http://www.timeanddate.com/date/duration.html. Be sure to select “Include end date in calculation.”

2. Once you've received a request to pay $100, or got an approval, or your PGWP, please remember to visit the forum again and update your fellow Members. Its important because it gives other applicants a bit of morale. Also, make sure that you renew your SIN by visiting your nearest Service Canada office at: http://www.servicecanada.gc.ca/cgi-bin/sc-srch.cgi?app=hme&ln=eng

3. If for whatever reason you email or call CIC (at 1-888-242‑2100), please feel free to share your findings in the forum.

4. If your individual processing time/day count exceeds the current CIC processing time of WP, please take the initiative to seek help from your Member of Parliament (MP) within your constituency (or residential area). Gather all evidence including your application number and let your MP know about your situation. To find your MP, use your current postal code via Parliament of Canada at: http://www.parl.gc.ca/Parlinfo/Compilations/HouseOfCommons/MemberByPostalCode.aspx?Menu=HOC.

5. If you paid only $155 and never paid the extra $100 for all OWP holders, please visit these two sites to pay and upload the remaining balance (receipt):
a) Online Payment at: https://eservices.cic.gc.ca/epay/welcome.do?lang=en. Once you are there follow the instructions below:
Click continue below > Accept disclaimer > Immigration > Temporary residence > Open work permit holder fee > type 1 for number of
applications > Submit > Pay. You will be asked to register on the online payment system in case you are not.

b) Case Specific Enquiry (CSE) at: https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/canada-case-cas-eng.aspx?_ga=1.63908399.108801500.1431902909
Use this online form to upload the PDF receipt you received. First fill in your UCI, address, phone etc. Scan and upload it to the CSE.
Also, type a short precise message (in the message box) indicating your reasons. In that message don't forget to include your online
Application Number that begins with a W.

6. ** New TRV for those who want to travel after receiving their PGWP. Processing fee is $100 (the required docs for application include; passport copy, face/head photograph, IMM5257E form, and a copy of your PGWP). Please be aware that your PGWP doesn't give you the right to return to Canada. You need a new TRV that you apply for as a worker NOT as a student. To get more information on applying for a new TRV from WITHIN Canada, please go to: https://www.google.com/search?q=apply+for+new+TRV+within+Canada&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8#q=Apply+for+new+TRV+from+within+Canada.

7. Unless its a family emergency, please make your travel plans carefully and wisely.

8. If you've been refused a PGWP and have lost status, please learn more about restoration of your status at: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/temp/visa/validity/restoration.asp and apply for both restoration of status and PGWP simultaneously.

Congratulations to Drajay, Matteo1987, Beogradjanin1, JiliYuan1984, Msvel2304, Zahida, ScarletSails (FP) and Angela.Bunny on the approval of their PGWP. Good luck on your job search.

To every applicant; cheer yourselves up, stay positive, and help out each other. Its a waiting game. All the best as always.

Cheers! 8)

Hi everyone :)
I also applied my pgwp on May 25th i read posts over here the guys who applied after May for instance in June or July some of 'em received the pgwp. even though on cic website it says that they are working on May 16th applications.
Does anyone know how this work ?
ALSO i was thinking may be we all should go public on cbc for cic's processing time. Cuz i remember in June when cic was taking more than usual time to process Student Permit's applications some students complaint in different news channels and right after with in weeks their processing time went really down.
I think we pgwp applicants needs to choose the same path we could go to the "cbc go public" and tell them, perhaps then cic might work and respect the processing time. Its ridiculously frustrating and STRESSFULL.
PLS LET ME KNOW I WILL COME FORWARD OR ANYONE HAS OTHER SUGGESTIONS PLEASE COME FORWARD.

I agree to this.It is really frustrating and stressfull.
