Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)

No


Not even a letter indicating that you can work or something like that? Cause I haven't received one either and I know many students receive that letter.

Guys I saw that many of you have concerns with the WP-EXT letter. I believe that it depends on whether your previous permit is still valid or not, or is going to expire soon or not. Personally, I submitted my PGWP application 3 days before my study permit expiry date and I received this letter, so if your previous permit is still valid and it covers the time till you get your PGWP decision, I think they will not issue you this letter.

Yeah, I had applied for an extension during that time and my visa had expired a few days before. Thanks for the help though. Have you received your PGWP yet and when did you apply?

No worries. Well, I applied on Jan 16, and still unfortunately no news. It's been a while since no one has posted any approvals in this forum and I'm just wondering why.

I think based on the current processing time frames, and people who are reporting their application outcome, you will get your PGWP in 1 month (best case scenario) to 2.5 months (worst case scenario) from now.

Yeah, I do not think any Jan applicants have received their PGWP. I just know someone from here who got theirs through flagpolling and I have no idea how that works.

My Study permit extension is in progress and my current stduy permit is valid till July.
Does flagpoling can be done only at Us-Canada border ? or Can I do flag-poling when I enter Canada from other country ?
 
My classmate applied PGWP inland 2.5 months after he graduated... Now after almost 3.5 months, his PGWP is refused....
The 180 days are over..approx 193 days after letter of graduation have now passed.

What are his options? Can he apply again with the relevant documents? ... or the 180 days limit apply to him and he cant apply /?

Do you know why was it refused ? They must have given some reasons.
