Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)

[zagcollins]

applied for SOWP Feb 28 still no update at the moment. PGWP already approved last July 13.

is this SOWP extension after completing course? Am guessing this is different from the SOWP that you applied for when starting the course.

Guys, I have applied for PGWP as well and it has been 2 months now without any answer. In my GCKey account it says that I have to stop working if I do not get my work permit by the end of September. So what should I do? does this mean I have to leave my job? because I have a full-time job now and that date is due in 45 days or so.
applied on June 1.
Nothing so far, review not started.
Due date to leave work if have not got any response from IRCC: September 29

So IRCC told you to stop working if there is no response? Or your employer?

That's weird. Did you receive a WP-EXT document when you applied for the PGWP? Can you elaborate further?

This is the letter I received in my account after applying for a PGWP:

so does this mean that if I don't receive a response by September 29 then I have to leave work? because it says whichever comes first.

No, it does not mean that. Past the 29th of September if you don't receive a decision of your application, you can continue to keep working beyond that date. You'll be on implied/maintained status past that date if no decision comes.

Please refer to the link below for more clarification. Good luck!

If we don’t finalize your application by the date on your letter ( means extention letter )
If we don’t finalize your application by the date on your letter, you can still keep working until we make a decision.

If your employer or others need proof that you can continue to work

• you can show them this web page, or
• if your employer is not satisfied with the information on this page, you can contact us

Do anyone know anywhere closer to New Brunswick where I can go for Flagpole? Besides, the visa in my old passport is valid but I have a new passport that will enable me get all the 3 years of pgwp. My old passport is canceled because I have a new passport. Can I use my old passport to cross the border for flagpole?
