hdizzle said:Hi Guys,
So I applied for my PGWP online on 2015Sep23. I paid the $255 in total. (155 plus 100 dollar open work permit fee). Since I have already paid the open work permit fee at the start do you think the processing time for my application will be faster? I am hearing that the reason processing times are increasing is because of the introduction of that fee. 137 day processing time is absolutely ridiculous. How/Why is CIC SO SLOW!

Applied: May 2nd
Paid $100: Aug 18th
Blank Update: July 31, Aug 30th, Sep 29
Current Status: Waiting as of October 7th (day 159)
Contacted call center and the agent informed me that because they spoke with my last week, and already took action by sending a message somewhere to get my application checked out, therefore I need to wait another 3 months before I can do anything more. She advised me to keep checking my status online instead.
