PGWP Processing Deadline

Hi there,

I applied for my PGWP on July 13th, 2024, from Canada. After a couple of months, in the first week of October, I decided to travel back to India to see my family. I am currently in India; however, my PGWP application processing time is approaching the deadline on January 9th, 2025 (in two months). I was planning to travel back in December, but after realizing the deadline, I am planning to postpone my return until I get my PGWP.

My concerns are:

What would happen if someone stayed in Canada beyond the processing deadline mentioned in our PGWP EXT Letter? Do they need to stop working and return to their home country until their PGWP is approved?

What steps should be taken if PGWP is not approved by the deadline mentioned in our letter? Has any of you ever experienced such an issue?

Do you think it is viable to travel back in December and start working under implied status while I wait for the PGWP?

Is there a way to contact IRCC from India to expedite the application process?

I would highly appreciate your valuable response. Thank you! :)
