I’m waiting for mine! Applied on 17/Aug from Oman and haven’t heard back yet. How about you?
Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)
- Thread starter A_Smile
- Start date
Hi, unlike many of you, I was not able to work in my field of study when I applied for my PGWP, due to a condition I had on my study permit. So I had to wait till I receive my work permit. I sent 3-4 webforms and explained my issue. At the end I contacted my MP, but after 2-3 days (I am assuming before she got a chance to contact IRCC), my application was approved. So I am not really sure what happened there!
Just search local MP call them, book appoimtment or they will send you the consent form. In my case, i need WP to accept job offer as my employer asked for it. I called my local MP and got approved 1 day after sending consent form to my local MP and more than 10 webforms to CIC
They just started processing August applications now. A lot of people from July still waiting for approval as well...
When you contact your local MP, did you provide a specific reason that you need the permit asap or just tell them your wait time had exceed the IRCC estimated time?
I used Google and emailed her my situation in detail. She sent me some forms to fill in including a consent form. But still I don't think she got a chance to contact IRCC, because I was approved 2 days after that.
Hi everyone,
I'm sorry, my question is a bit off topic. Has anyone here applied for a TRV after receiving their PGWP, and before starting to work? I have a question regarding the imm5257e form. I am currently in Canada and I am still looking for a job.
I was wondering what would be a correct answer for this question: "Name, address and relationship of any person/institution I will visit" Can I answer this question with my own name and home address since I don't have an employer yet?
Thank you in advance

Just tell them your story. If you have job offer then tell them that. For me i told them both. Because my job start from 15 Nov I need the approval to accept the offer. And my application already passed processing time.
Have any of you also had troubles getting a job while waiting for the PGWP after explaining that you are legally allowed to continue working in canada?
