Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)

[jeffjay]

Hey do you have a source for allowing work beyond the 4 months expiry date?

Yes. This question has been answered multiple times in this thread.

Check letter validity section and paragraphs after that from the following link: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/temporary-residents/study-permits/post-graduation-work-permit-program/permit.html

So weird that there are no January approvals; I wonder what they do at IRCC. If you do flagpole, it just takes 1-2 hours to do a review of your application and now I am waiting for almost 110 days, The process took only 10 days a year ago, and now it takes 137 days! What do they need to check that takes this long I wonder!!

I think obviously they are allocating the resources and staff to other applications.

I applied on 17th January 2022 still waiting, my wife's SOWP was in process too and received a letter today in her application to submit spouse work permit and job contract letter within 30 days.. what to do now have anyone faced this situations?

When the fuck are they going to start January applications? There’s one guy here who applied on 30th January and got his approval a few days ago. I applied on 14th Jan and literally nothing.
Also what are the chances that they will give you a visa on the flagpole? What if they do not and then you’re in another pickle.

When did you apply for SOWP? Are you inland? If you're on a valid work permit in Canada & working in NOC 0,A,B job, you have to provide your work permit copy, employment letter & 3 paystubs to support your spouse's SOWP application.
