Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)

[peanut butter]

I didn't get any email update but when I logged into my CIC account this morning it said they were reviewing my eligibility and when I logged in again in the afternoon it said I was approved

Okay I see! Mine still says 'application in progress'. I guess it doesn't take that long for them to approve an application once they start reviewing it.

I worked on campus like 4 hours a week and yes, I provided them with a letter from the beginning. But they are just not satisfied

If you were part time in any semester except last you dont qualify for pgwp, this is the rule. Sometimes officer show leniency but thats generally up to them. Seeking a good immigration la

So mine shows approved from last 2 days i.e from September 19, 2019. But I haven’t received the letter in messages. How long does it take from here to receive the letter in messages as well as in mail??

Hi guy, i need some help. I just received my PGWP on Friday and i'm in the process of doing my TRV. For the IMM5257e, what do we put for "Fund available for my stay (CAD)" under details of visit to canada?

Hi everyone,
Need your help. Just wanna know if someone has already applied for TRV after getting PGWP, what checklist does it create? Mine is only showing IMM 5257e and 5257b, Copy of work permit, passport and picture. Is that enough?
Just worried if I am doing right or not.
Your reply will be appreciated,
Thanks in advance.

I got the same as you, one question if you can help me. what do i have to put under the fund question?

My question is can i travel to my country and come back to canada on the student trv (sticker on the passport) while i get my Pgwp, applied June 7, so should be expecting it soon.!

As long as your visa is still valid, you can travel back home and come back. I traveled myself and came back ok

Do you need your SIN for anything particular? if you are already working , you're fine. But if you don't currently have a job, you'll have to wait to receive the paper version of your PGWP to renew your SIN

Thanks for your advice, I have a casual job right now, and also have a new job offer, I’m afraid the new employer can cancel me if my Sin number expires. Please help me!
