I dont think they work on Sat and Sun so dont count those hoursStill no update, almost 48h after eligibility review startedGetting real worried
Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)
- Thread starter A_Smile
- Start date
Fair enough. I noticed that pilot training graduates take them longer to get a decision, assuming our applications are a bit different than University graduates, so we go through manual review.
applied November 13th Still waiting
Any approvals for October 15 and later..? Want to know only for October month. I applied October 21st still no progress and updates on my application.
Can you please clarify on the security check you mentioned. What is there to check on security concern for a PGWP as the person is already studied and lived in Canada for more than 2 years. And also being an International student the security check was already done at the time of study visa stamping. So how does it make sense to do that again which only delay the time process and increase the backlogs. Kindly answer my doubt.
Hi,
Just logged into my account. My application showed update/ and when I clicked, it says "we’re reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements " ..
I am a PGWP applicant outside Canada. Any experience how long it takes more to get a final decision?
I had applied on 25TH January!

That’s a good news. However, no one really knows how long it will take to hear a decision. I’m an outland applicant and my eligibility review started on 1-Feb-2022. Also, I know @Leh98 eligibility review started in August-2021. Both of us haven’t received a final decision yet. The outland applicant are not considered priority and they go through a number of checks. Those checks involves (Eligibility, Medical, Biometrics, Security, and info sharing), and those checks varies based on the country of your residence. Keep in mind, info sharing take a numerous amount of time because it is done by international agencies in (UK, New Zealand, USA, Australia, etc) not IRCC. Did you apply Jan 2021?

You don't have to restore your status as you already applied before your expiry date. So, technically you could even work full time if you wish to. I am on the very same boat. My study permit expires on 31st March 2022 and applied for PGWP on 6th Jan 2022. Just anxious and waiting for the approval. But you are good as you are in "applied" status.
I applied on Jan 22 inland application. I guess it will take atleast one more for them to start processing Jan applicants
Well for me this goes from application to application, consulate to consulate........and luck of course.
I got my student visa inside Canada in just 3 days in June 2020.......... Also, especially for outland applicants, the consulates are bound only to process those applicants........so, the applicants of that country from that specific consulate are a priority.....
A complex application may take more time, wether inland or outland......
but again, is really hard to say.
