processing time is 133 days now, but this letter shows after July 10 if I have not received PGWP meantime, I am not authorized to work. That stresses me out. if anyone has a common experience please share.
I believe even after that date, you are allowed to work. See previous pages (around 10~30 pages before), there are discussions and references for this issue.

I am so sorry to hear this. Can you let me know what are the reasons for your refusal?
they mention my school is not approved for pgwp, like seriously, i have 100 of people got pgwp through same school. this guys are just helping refugees and neglecting the deserving one,

Dont worry in that case you will surely get your pgwp. I believe you can even sue ircc if they have refused you by mistake and you have lost a job because of it.

men daily i had to call ircc, like if we call them 25 times in a day they will pick up call then, yesterday they picked my call just to say they have not recieve my webform due to backlog, i applied like almost a month ago, and yesterday they picked my call at 3.58 pm, wereas their call center agent close at 4, and i was having 98 min waiting time, ircc seriously needs to stop doing blunder mistake with eligible candidates, like my school is principal air, its even mention on their websie its approved and i got rejected saying my school is not approved.

and some people get work permit letter, some dont once they submit pgwp request, like one of my friend had same issue, she called ircc and ask that she did not get temporary work permit letter , until decission is made, so they said its bcoz of refugees , we have backlog, we send sometime, sometime we dont.

Hello Everyone. This is my first time posting on these forums, but reading the updates here helped me during the rough waiting time... so thought I'd return the favor.

PGWP - Application Approved - OUTLAND
Application Date: 2nd Sept 2021
Eligibility Review: 25th March 2022 - 28th March 2022 (It was over the weekend otherwise I think it takes 1 day)

Then Passport request and approval followed quickly.

Good luck to everyone still waiting!
