Im getting a consultant to help me with the letter of explaination, any advise

Oh so they said it was worth it to try?

 

[dieter15]

I want to try but they told me it would be 50/50 and it would depend on the officer.

That makes sense yeah. Was there a reason you waited so long?

When the borders shut down in march, I wasn't sure what to do, at that time it didnt occur to me that I should continue to send in my application. I messed up that's generally what I think happened.

Hmmm have you been in touch with the IRCC? Asked them about it?

 

[dieter15]

No I think that would be a bad idea, I would be giving them a heads up of who I am.

 

[dieter15]

Or maybe the reply would just crush my chances I don't know.... I rather send in an application and find out what happens next.

You can certainly try, it's quite a bit of money to be wasted if they say no, however. If you do want to apply though I would apply asap because the longer you wait, the more likely they'll say no i think.

I spent November trying to find organizations or people who could help me. I found a consultant who said they could help me. As I check the internet I see there are many cases of people with different situations trying to apply for pgwp, everyone has their circumstances. I rather make an attempt to try speak my case then just leave it.

Yeah super fair! You should submit and explain everything and hopefully they'll accept it! I hope it works out though

also this is random lol but I grew up in Singapore! We're neighbours!

 

[dieter15]

lol good to know. Are you in Canada now, did you get your pgwp? I'll be sure to share what happens as I do appreciate input from everyone.

 

[NPreti8195]

Haha good to know. Are you in Canada now, did you get your pgwp? I'll be sure to share what happens as I do appreciate input from everyone.

Yes I'm in Canada! I graduated in June on the 8th so I applied on the 18th! I'm still waiting for mine though! Haven't received it yet but I'm very close to being over the 180 days which is why I was concerned!

 

[dieter15]

I think you will be fine, is there a way for you to find out about the status?

 

[NPreti8195]

Yes it's still being processed right now! You can login and check your status at any time so I know they're still processing it!
