Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)
- Thread starter A_Smile
- Start date
I really wish i started earlier. I was delayed in my application because my advisor went on vacation and only returned 3 weeks later. Had i asked just 2 days before the time I did, I would have the permit by now
Check with your classmates' timelines. All my friends that applied at the same time, received their permits at the same time, too.
My friends either do not require a work permit or applied long time before me so I don’t have any comparisons except from you guys. My cases aren’t exactly straightforward so I guess that’s why it’s taking longer.
I don't think it doesn't matter if your case is straightforward or not... it mostly depends on your province,that's what I figured from different applications. Also , yours is not too late... I see some people from july haven't recieved the decision yet.
I was able to talked to an agent in help centre today. I explained my situation and they told me case like that usually takes longer and don’t get too worry even if it’s passed 93 days. I personally don’t agree with that as I saw some people in similar situations get approval within the same timeline as other people. But it’s just what they told me.
I’m at 102 days. It’s stressful but all that we can do at this stage is be patient.
I heard maybe restoration cases would be long. But I saw people with restoration cases got their permits with same timeline.. however, don't worry you're going to hear something in a few weeks.
I have a doubt- my study permit expires on 31st dec and i have applied for work permit and have the work authorization letter. I can stay in Canada, I dont need to apply for visa right?
Only if I travel outside i need TRV?
