Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)

[andrews17]

My sister applied for PGWP one day before I did (mid-May). Her eligibility review started two days before mine, but I got approval and she hasn't. She's been in eligibility review for two weeks now. Should this be a concern?

Looks like the processing is again put on backburner. As far as I see none of PGWP + SOWP decision is reported in last about a month on Forum.
Raised about six web forms for my pending TRV and PGWP+SOWP but none was replied to.

I applied pgwp+sowp on 13th May. Haven’t heard anything yet. My friend applied pgwp on 13th and received, her husband’s file was lodged seperately on May 27th and he had received too.

Hi guys,

I have question is it okay to move to different province while your pgwp application is in process?

cheers

Definitely. But please remember to update your address using webform.

Yes, just keep in mind that your pgwp will be sent to the address you submitted on your application unless you update that with a webform

Any PGWP+SOWP approvals at all?

No approval reported in last few days. Seems to be as if they have stopped processing completely. This is so depressing. Tried calling IRCC, no luck. Its so terrible.

This is terrible. I wonder when they will start June applicants. Processing time keeps rising. Currently at 169 days.

With dependents, it is taking a lot of time. I am waiting since April 26th.

Did you get a reply?

Did you try to call them? Your case is exceeded the current processing time.
