Just to confirm, are both of you Inland? And, which work permit did you upload as your PGWP is yet to arrive? Thanks in advance.
Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)
- Thread starter A_Smile
- Start date
Okay but people who applied before it said 133 days so will that remain the same for us?
I applied on 14th Jan and there is nothing yet. Someone applied on 15th Jan and 30th Jan and they got approved. Like what the fuck man
The estimated processing time is updated based on how long is took them to process most applications in the last 6 months. - this being said, it is not 100% clear if the estimate processing time is the one at the time of your application or if the current one. I'd say the current one since your application is not over 6 months old, and that is the average of most applications. Either way, 11 days is not a huge difference when most of us have been waiting for over four months.
But 133 days is not 6 months though. Did you get yours though and when did you apply?
Is 6 months the average for processing inland or outland applications? It seems that there is a difference in the processing times for inland or outland applications.
Anyway, it doesn't feel right that we have an implied status for only 4 months when the processing time takes 6 months on average. Shouldn't we receive an extension that covers the processing time?
Yes you have to apply for it from within Canada. I hired an agent for this purpose
Yes, but the estimated processing time is based in how long took them to process PGWP applications on average in the last six months.
So if most of the applications in the last six months took 145 days, that is the 'estimate processing time' to process new and current applications.
The length of the EX-WP letter doesn't affect your implied status. - You can continue working past the expiration of that letter - the letter is issued automatically with 120 days because that is the service standard to process PGWP applications, but service standard and actual processing times might be different depending on how many applications have to be processed and other factors.
I am currently not working since I couldn't find a job in the field I have been studying. I'm still searching for a job. However, employers are not very excited to hire someone in the limbo. Or so I was told by a prospective employer. I guess I am not getting this job either.
I applied on 14th January too. You and I will get by end of this month. Chill pill.
Sorry to hear that! Job hunting sucks - You wouldn't want to work for an employer like that anyway...fingers crossed we will get the permit before the end of May/beginning of June.
Yeah but someone who applied on 15th got their approval already so I don’t get it.I applied on 14th January too. You and I will get by end of this month. Chill pill.
December 14 inland still waiting as well. That's so frustrating especially when you see later applications being reviewed and approved. It's unjust
