Let's share timeline, PGWP March applicant

[Pratavetrik]

what kind of receipt did u get from CIC for Open permit holder fees????

The same one you did. Don't panic. It's the receipt you need. If there was another one - you would have it.

Hello Everyone,

This goes out to those whose $100 receipt has been requested for.

When you pay for the OWP holders fee of $100, you receive what we call the Integrated Payment Revenue Management System (IPRMS) receipt in PDF format. Assuming that you filled in your particulars like UCI #, address, etc; you should now upload it in the space CIC provided you and then submit it. If you don't have space to indicate your personal info, just upload it and submit. Its not really necessary.

Therefore, do not panic just because you've seen the acronym IPRMS. I hope you all get approved soon.

Cheers!

U know mine did not have address etc filled
only my name, credit card info and that's it
did I have to fill in the rest of it?! will this cause a headache you guess?

Cheers!

Hello guys,

Thanks for all your info. It helped me to contact my mp, which I feel fast tracked my application. Here is my timeline:

Applied: May 25
Blank Update: Got several like 3
Fees: Paid full amount $255
Called MP: October 23 (the secretary responded and called cic immediately)
PGWP Approval: October 27
Total Processing time: 150 days (5.16 months)

I got a 1 year pgwp. My problem now is that I did combined programs- 1 year graduate program in Ontario and another 1 year program in Saskatchewan making it 2 yrs in total. I called cic contact center and they told me it was an error, that the agent probably didn't scroll down my docs to view my second graduation letter. She said she has sent a message to the agent and I should wait for 3 months before calling back if it doesn't get fixed and said she can't give me a timeline.

Please has anyone faced this kind of issue before and how did you resolve it?

Applied on May19th, paid $100 on Sep3, since then no news. Couple blank updates,went to see MP today, she contacted CIC, they told us they didn't expect there will be many applicants in May, and they have all the documents, will dealing them on November 21 and should be issued all of them, but if still no news on 21, she told me to contact her again. ( CIC already promised me that I should have my work permit in October, so I don't know if they will keep this promise this time) :-X :-X

Hi All,

Nice discussion here overall !

I am all like you who has applied for PGWP on May 6th and checking my luck means I am still in so called "IMPLIED" condition!
My question here is, I am already working full time (40 hours), can I also work additional 10 hours on weekend for a different employer?
Anybody in similar condition please share your experience as well?


Your expert opinions are urgently awaited !

Best Regards,
Can_Can

Hi guys, I have been following this forum for months. Just wanna to share with you guys my processing time.


Applied: May 6th (paid $155)
Blank Update: Once in July
Requested extra $100: Aug 21 (paid on the same day)
Total Processing Time: 177 days (as of Oct 29, still waiting)


Tired of contacting CIC or MP.

Luckily I got a job offer before my study permit expires (Sep 30), but the overall application process is too frustrating.

Hey I am under exactly the same situation.

From my understanding of "IMPLIED" after reading the regulations, unfortunately you may only be allowed to continue what you are doing right now.
