Hey konak
Congrats you got your pgwp
Could you let me know how was the process at border and what are documents we need
Bec i have heard boreder officers are not very helpfull
They ask for degree completion letter, transcript,passport and study permit. If you don't have us visa then us border will ask you a lot of questions. Better to be prepared for the us border.

Hi guys I'm reading lots of mixed answers and I'm hoping someone can give me any estimate of my application.

Applied: September 7, 2018
Application updated: November 2, 2018 "Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start reviewing your eligibility."

I'm the only applicant and still haven't received any updates. Is there a chance it will finish before December? Thank you

Edit: My study permit expires on November 31, 2018. I applied for PGWP the day my college sent me the letter of completion.

I also applied on September 7,2018 and have the exact same status like you. PGWP will come most probably within this week.

Do you mind telling me how you knew that it will get approved this week? Is it cause of the 67 days processing time?
One of my friend applied on 30th August and his work permit was approved on 6th november. They're processing the work permits exactly according to the processing time mentioned on the website.
