Thank you for sharing this information! Can you please explain the process. I applied on July 26th, still awaiting my approval. If there's a delay beyond the end of the month, I might try to flagpole as I have a job offer!
I just went to the border. I provided graduation certificate (I did not give the officer the confirmation letter that is issued on May 18th) , proof of application on Aug 18th, Job offer email, degree assessment email stating that my grade has been changed on May 23rd (Because I applied online on the Aug 18th, which is actually the 92nd day when counting from the issue date of confirmation letter, so if they asked about it I can have an explanation.) and official transcript.
I explained everything to her. She was really patient and nice. She said you may not get a refund and I replied it was fine, I just don't want to miss the job offer. She seemed to understand that and asked me about things like what is this job, what is the salary and how many hours a week. Then she checked both my graduation certificate and the degree assessment email, she asked another officer which date should be counted as the start of 90 days, the degree assessment one (May 23rd) or the graduation certificate (June 11th). I don't know if this was actually true or it was just their misunderstanding or maybe they were just being nice, the other officer said the latest one (I thought it should be the earliest one though). Then my officer said that okay if June 11th is counted as the date then you are within 90 days and you are eligible (But actually it is more than 90 days). Then she asked whether I have studied part-time, I said no.
Then she asked me to take a seat as she is going to work on it for a while. She did not take my degree assessment email or graduation certificate, as she said that she can saw my completion of degree on the transcript. Then she called my name, asking me to pay the fee. And after another 10 minutes she gave me the PGWP. I don't know if my experience can be generalized, but I do think that I had luck today! Maybe they were not very familiar with the process, or maybe they were just kind and pretended that it was within 90 days.

Hi,Applied: June 1, 2018
Application under review: Sept 18, 2018
Application approved: Sept 18, 2018
It took a looong time, but finally happened!
My husband and I received work permits valid until the expiry date of his passport but we will definitely extend our work permits if we won't get permanent residence sooner
Good luck, guys!
Cong. to your permits.
Wonder how you could also applied for the OWP since the only way to apply OWP with spousePGWP is the main applicant should have 3 payslips and and a job in NOC A,B, 0. Could you please describe more your applications?
Friends
I am on PGWP 1 year visa and want to invite my family Spouse on Open Work Permit (I have Spouse + 2 kids), so can any body guide me here what should I write in COVERING LETTER with convincing points that They will leave Canada after work permit expires.
Any convincing points or idea for letter?
Any one here who has gone through same situation?
By the way I am already working in a Canadian Engineering Company NOC B
your help is highly appreciated.

Thanks demoess0130, I did the same today and got my work permit paper done. Already applied on the 31st of August 2018 but got it today after flagpoling.
Hi,
Please if you are still on this forum, how did you go about reappying? What where the documents you used? Did you lose your status when the initial application was refused??
Did you receive any updates today? I just got refusal on my spouse work permit and mine its still under review. I would like to know what documents did you use to apply?
Yes my pgwp is under review and my spouse’s open work permit has been refused and she also lost her status effective today. I hope they approve mine today as i am resuming work in a NOC A category tomorrow. Who is familiar with process of restoration of status
I reapplied July 4, and my old WP was until July 30. So I did not lose my status.
Same documents (letter from employer (position, salary, duties+NOC), 2 paystubs (and I send one more paystub with Web Form), job contract, spouse PGWP, and kid SP), only add additional information in the main form about refusal + letter of explanation.
