Hi guys,
I have been a silent member in this group but this group certainly helped me deal with my anxiety while we all have been waiting for approvals.

I got my pgwp approval so hoping that everyone else get theirs quickly.

Applied: 06 Jan 2022
Work auth letter: 08 Jan 2022
Eligibility review: 31 May 2022
Approval: 31 May 2022
Applied from Toronto, Canada
Course: 2 year program
Visa: 3 years

I hope this gives people the confidence that IRCC has finally started working on Jan applications.

Good luck everyone.

Congrats on the approval. Just a quick question, what time did you apply on January 6? Because even I applied on the same day and no update yet.
Thanks.

Still you are giving wrong info .. if you don't know don't comment ..it all goes from edmenton temporary residence ..
This person is NOT giving any wrong information. There are tons of cases that are referred to local offices depending on the location closest to where your application was submitted (and it can take anywhere from 9 months to even 2 years for these cases to be processed). Stop trying to say that something doesn’t exist or is wrong if you dont have the experience with it.

Hi

I applied for my PGWP on January 6th and I am still waiting for an update...


In the automatic letter stated I can work till May 30 or until there is an update on my application.

Can I still continue to work??? or I am no longer allowed to work??

I applied on 14th January and my 143 days will be completed on the 6th of June so lets see if something happens till then. The MP in my city reached out to IRCC last week and they said that my file has not been opened yet.

Hi Everyone, I have a question here and I think I can find my answer here. This is for Ontarians.

My wife graduated in Feb and we got married after that. I have PR card but my wife was going to apply for PGWP first and then meanwhile I apply PR for her with sponsorship program.

My wife has applied for PGWP on March 27th. Actually, she had UHIP until end of April. She is not eligible for OHIP until she gets her Work Permit based on Service Ontario Website, although she is working now.
Do you think she is eligible for OHIP when I have PR? What do you suggest? If she is not eligible, can I buy Health Insurnace from private providers?

Also, I have not applied PR for her with sponsership program yet. I will do that soon. Do you think if I apply for her, she will be eligible for OHIP?

Sorry guys, here was the only place I could share my concerns.

Best,
