Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)

[soledad]

I am in the same situation as yours and i also applied on May 31st. I have not heard from CIC yet. My husband and my son joined with me as a family package. I sent the message via Web form yesterday but still wondering if i need to call. If you have any update, please let me know.

Hi Chloe,
I am glad there is someone in the same boat as me. I called the CIC, couldn't get through to a real person, but learned that they have not yet processed ones received on May 24th. I have a feeling applications with family members follow a different timeline than ones that are for single persons. A friend of mine who submitted later than me but who is single got her permit, but a different friend who has family members with him is still waiting. Let's keep our fingers crossed for both families of ours!

1 year pgwp after 1 year of study
Applied 5th june
Approved 23 july

Want to apply for TRV as i want to visit my home country.
Visa application asks for following documents:
Work permit (supporting document)
Passport
Visa photo
Proof of medical

Do I have to wait for Work permit or I can use the confirmation document IMM5754 stating I got approved for work permit as supporting document.

@Peanut butter and jelly ...most people don’t receive that notificatoon for the fact that they are not able to scan each and every package...you can track down both the letters from Canada Post web site....you should wait 7-10 days after you sent your passport to receive it back

How long does the paper document (work permit) take to come?

My husband and applied on June 1.

Did anyone who applied with family get both (PGWP and open work permit for a spouse) with no issues?
Maybe anyone who applied on June 1?

On their website says they are working on applications from May 24 but still 51 days which is way more than that already

They were saying that there is no way you can contact them if they need something they will contact you, you just have to wait

Hello Guys,

I applied for PGWP on June 6 and approved on July 25
My degree was 2 years program, however, I got the work permit up to end of my passport expiration. Is there any reason for that? Everyone that got 3 years permit they had valid passport for three years?
Is there any chance to extend to three years after I renew my passport?
Thanks
