144 days gone still waiting for a correspondence from IRCC. Why they are not hiring more staff? They are making good money, they should hire more to make their process smooth....

Hello guys, I applied for PGWP on February 27 and am on implied status now. My Study Permit expired on March 31 but the WP-Ext letter gives me authorization to work full time till June 27. And I am working full time now.

I would like to invite my parents to visit Canada to attend my convocation ceremony and come here on September 1. Would it be wise to invite and apply for their visitor visa now or should I wait for my PGWP? (It is important for me to apply for their visitor visa ASAP) Thank you for your help :)

Hi, I graduated in December and applied to my PGWP on January 15th, my family applied for a visitor visa on January after I applied to my PGWP. they attached my WP-Ext letter and my study permit to their application and it was approved, no issues at all.

Good luck

Has anyone recently applied for a TRV inside Canada in end of May or early June? How come the processing time suddenly jumped to 166 days? When I checked a few weeks ago it was only 30 days or so. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
