Hello, you applied to restore your status as a student or as a worker? I graduated in December and my study permit expired on December 31. I have still not received the graduation letter and transcript from my college and thus, I am not able to apply for my PGWP. Just waiting for that and will then apply for restoration as a student and PGWP in a single application by paying the extra restoration fees.
Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)

Hey, I read that you can only restore to the kind of permit you held prior to your application. So I applied to restore my status as a student. When will you get your letter of completion and official transcript??

Master's degree, 2 years. I did it accelerated, in 1 year and 8 months, without break. No part-time terms, only the last one. 100% in Canada, even if some courses got online due to COVID. PGWP valid for 3 years. Applied inland, from Québec.
Bonne chance à tous!

I had applied online at the end of September last year, at that time the processing time was over 90 days I believe, but i got mine within a month. Keep in mind that you don't need to apply for a TRV if you have a presently valid TRV in your passport.
I believe since your SP ext hasn't been approved yet, you can't work unfortunately. This is because in your case your continued status after applying for extension of SP still remains despite applying for PGWP. I think you'll need to wait for a decision on your SP. I had read it somewhere in the IRCC website but i don't remember the exact source.
Thank you so much for your reply and i cant survive without working

If I'm not wrong, I think you can work part-time (if your previous SP allowed you to do so) but not full time.Thank you so much for your reply and i cant survive without working
