Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)

[kaykay12]

My friend who applied on March 5th got hers on Apr 18th - so the processing time is about 44 days.

I applied on Mar 14th; will post back here once i hear back something from them!

Just to update.. i didn't get any emails about updates but i just went on cic website to check the status today and it says that they started reviewing my application.

For those of you who have applied for your PGWP, did you attach your transcript and graduation letter in your application ? or just one of the two ?

I only attached the letter as I didn't have the transcript

Hey guys need your HELP!

I would be applying for PGWP on 30th April evening, I heard from friends that it takes around 2.5 months to receive your PGWP. I am shifting to a new place on 1st of May for 2 months contract period, I will be giving this place's mailing address in my PGWP application.

Problem is if it takes more than 2 months, I wouldn't be able to retain the mailing address. On CIC website it states it takes 45 days to process a PGWP application + add 4-5 days for postal delivery. But it still says that it is working on applications received on 5th March, it's like 53 days to that date.

I am nervous, I can't help it rn. Would I get my PGWP in hand (processing + mailing) before June 30th if I apply on April 30th evening?

Took just under 2 months for mine, but it just depends on the application and timing.

Thanks for your reply, do you exactly know how long it took for you to get that PGWP in hand from the day of submission to the day of receiving it, in days?

Would appreciate if other people could share there details as well. Thanks!

I just moved to Toronto on April 20th from St. John's, NL. I am thinking should I give my previous roomie's mailing address instead. It's so confusing, I want to give my Toronto address but just little skeptical about CIC processing + mailing it before June 30th if I apply on April 30th or May 1st

 

[russ6970]

I don't know your issue here. If you have already moved and NOT applied yet. Give your Toronto address.Not confusing at all.

Hi All,
How is the processing time coming along with PGWP. I applied on 29th i.e Yestarday. I know I have a long way to go for waiting for the application.
But how is it progressing for others in the group . On the CIC website it says 45 days currently , so all us are getting in 45 day or with. is it ?

Keep posting guys once you get the Work permit. It really helps people who are waiting.
