If your study permit is still valid, get your PGWP from the border. I am also in a similar situation. My joining date was 3rd Dec. My manager was kind enough and told me to send the work permit as soon as I get it. I applied for PGWP on 2nd Nov and my study permit and trv both expired on 6th of Nov. I have to w8 till Jan 10-15th.

If you go to border, make sure you are from Visa exempt country. Else you can't get it from there.

Hey guys can we have two PGWP active applications as backup? Will second one affect the first one in anyway?

No you cannot. It will delay result on your application.
Thanks, even if they both have a big difference of when they were submitted?

IRCC Call center agent told me that before 90days are over from school completion date, I can submit another one and the first one will not be affected. Depending on the outcome of the first application, I can withdraw the second one later on.

I submitted on Oct 13, soon my application will be processed. But my 90 days from school completion date will be getting over on Dec 22.
They haven't processed my PGWP application and I am worried if they reject the first one and I cross the 90 days period. That's why I was thinking to send another one to be on the safe side.

Will you recommend me? Thanks!

Well, I say if you have not submitted any document then fill web form and send it to them. If you wanna apply second application you can go for it. But it may result in delay outcome of your PGWP application.

Hi Tony,

My friend applied sept 19th and no update still processing, yet I keep seeing everyone posting about getting it after applying in October.

So frustrating.

He sent a web form
And they just said oh it’s processing.
