Let's share timeline, PGWP March applicant
- Thread starter yukiyuki111
- Start date
This is my thought about this situation. Since I got the job right after graduation, I can tell that this situation is beneficial for me and for all applicants who are in the same position as me. I graduated last June and I applied for PGWP very next day, which was June 25. I got the job on June 29 which means that I already have worked three months without a work permit. If I get my permit next month or maybe November, December or even January that means that I am going to have a work permit for next three years from the month I got my work permit. So basically, I have to work nine more months to apply for Express Entry and my work permit is going to be longer than I was originally planning to be. Applicants who have the job do not panic, just relax and work because all this time at your job has been counted. For applicants who don't have a job, the situation is more difficult. Good luck to everyone.
sidaktoronto said:I called then number of times. They said file is all good and still under review. They had submitted a reminder when processing time passed but now when I am calling them they are not able to do anything as the reminder is already sent. Really frustrated with the whole situation now.
Contacted MP yesterday lets see if something happens, I am on verge of loosing my job already...
Hi Sidaktoronto, I am on the same situation with you and I really run out of my money... Have your MP helped you?
Hi There,
I applied for PGWP on 6th May. Paid post graduate work permit assess fee ($100) in second half Aug. till now did not get any update.
I have contacted CIC Helpline couple of times, but keep getting the reply like "We see that you application has surpassed the deadlines, but wait for sometime we are still processing". They also told me that you did not pay your processing fee of $255 at once so this delay. But when I applied in May, system was only accepting $155 even if I wanted t pay $255. So didn't know what to do.
Through informal sources I have come to know that people who have applied in June month (after me) got PGWP in August, most of them.
Also one of my close contact who has applied in May 8th, by paying fee in installments ($155+$100)like me also got PGWP last week. It seems like CIC processing application prioritizing in some other criteria, and not in the sequence of application date.
My concerns are:
I am getting job offers, but they just vanish after knowing about my situation. My SIN is still valid.
Anybody suggest please? will be much appreciated. don't know what to do.

My Timeline
Applied: May 2nd
Paid $100: Aug 18th
Blank Update: June July 31, Aug 30th
Current Status: Waiting as of September 28th (day 150)
As per my MP's advise, I'm supposed to get an update today - hopefully it'll come through soon - like others, job offers withdrawal is a huge concern, let alone those who cannot even apply for a SIN to get a job, even a part-time one :'( I really don't know how the CIC expects graduates to somehow survive 5 months without any income :-[
Good luck everyone, let's keep sending positive energy and thoughts to each other!

Hi All,
The situation seems to be tight.
After reading all the posts, I had a opinion.
Did we try to sign a petition with the ministry / MP? in the sense we can all explain our situation and submit a letter with our signatures to ministry who is responsible for this. I know for that we have to gather at one place and discuss and do it. Does it seem to be realistic? or is there already one that I am unaware of? I know many people in my batch that applied in May 2015 and still in same situation. Couple of them lost nice job offers already. I am sorry we have to go through all this because of the situation.
by the way my situation:
Applied: 06th May
100$ Paid: Aug 21st
Didn't get any update till today.
Regards,
Can_Can

Guys this might be a stupid question but oes anyone know how to approach the MP's office in Montreal? I applied may 29th and already lost a job offer. I have another one waiting but they need me to get my permit by mid October. At this rate I don't think I will have my pgwp by then. I paid the full amount and today I got a "no update" email. Im really freaking out at this point..

Applied: April 25
Request for 100: August 14
Approval: September 10
Mail: September 25 (2 weeks of mail time)
Total: 5 months...
Hope everyone gets pgwp soon!

Blank Update: Multiple
PGWP Approval: September 25th (142 days)

Good luck to everyone!
