Hello everyone, last week someone asked how long it takes to receive the original copy of pgwp in the mail ( for a friend who lives in Edmonton). Mine took 4 days, minus the weekend. It came in the mail today.

Sorry I couldn’t reply to that particular post, all the same I hope you find this helpful.

Hello guys, Here's my situation. I have applied (Outland) for PGWP on 17-August and haven’t heard back yet. It’s like no updates since (we’re reviewing wether you meet the eligibility requirements). My question is what can I do to get back to Canada? Can I apply for visitor or another TRV to get back in? Any suggestions will be appreciated

Hi
I submitted my pgwp application without restoration of status. I completed my studies on 18th dec my study permit expired on 19th dec. Applied pgwp on 22 dec, i am unaware of restoration of status and after 2 days i paid 350$ restoration fee as a student and attached that through webform. Receipt is now attached to my file. Is there anyone with the same situation who got approval.

Hey,

I got my TRV a week ago but just to be on the safe side when I was applying for PGWP I also applied for restoration of status. When did you apply for PGWP?

Congrats hopefully I get mine soon. They updated my file with my medical last week but that was the last update. I applied October 15th.

Hey, Congratulations.

I just had a question for you. I did my medical for my PGWP and I applied on January 15th 2022. When, I was doing my medical there were I think one or two tests which were not done. They were I think vaccination proof or something like that which we would get in childhood. But did you submit anything like that with the medical or not? Because, I did not and I am just scared that they might reject my visa because of that. When I was applying, I did state that I work with younger children. What did you select when you applied?

I am in the same boat, I applied for my TRV (outland) on Feb 10th after receiving my PGWP (inland). The only update I received after applying was that they're processing my background check.

I know it's too soon to expect anything but does anyone here know the current processing time for TRV after PGWP? that would be really helpful.

Hey guys, I just wanted to write about my case just to give hope to future graduates who finds themselves in a similar situation.
Study permit expired: April 09th (stoped work since I was out of status)
TRV expired: September 04th
Received email confirming completion of course : May 03rd (my official transcript, letter of completion and parchments were on hold because I still owed tuition from last semester which my Dad took long to pay due to some uncontrollable COVID 19 related issue)
Applied for my countries passport: June 11th
Got my passport: August 17th (seemed like forever and it was due to some communication issue and COVID)
Received confirmation of graduation and official transcript: September 17th
Applied inland (QC): October 20th (I sent a LOE explaining my situation, talking about my achievement while I pursued my degree and future plans if I got approved), (No help from any consultant or lawyer or international office staff from my school)
Eligibility review: February 23rd
Approved: February 24th (3 years)
These past year has been full of stress, I was seeing lots of ignored application and I was starting to get in my head as my case was very complicated. God bless the angel who reviewed it! Congratulations to everyone who received good news and I wish luck to all of you who are still in the process especially those who find themselves in a study permit restoration situation. I’m sending prayers and positive energy your way :) <3
