Hi, I applied for my PGWP on July 12th. I applied for my family's visit visa along with my application because as per IRCC "If you’re applying for a work permit and your family members want to come to Canada, they must also apply to visit or to work or study in Canada. They can apply at the same time as you."
I have seen that those who applied for PGWP in August have received their PGWP.
I have neither received any answer from IRCC for my PGWP application nor for my family's visit visa. Can anyone guide me with this scenario?

Are you in Canada? Why not SOWP? Where is your family applying from?

We have applied pgwp and sowp on 1 of dec. We received a letter that we can work until April or when we receive the work permits. The thing is my husband’s letter says he is not allowed to travel outside Canada during implied status. He is working for aviation and needs to travel otherwise his job would be terminated. We raised 2 web forms and also reached MP but no solution. Do you have any suggestions?

Hi, I completed my studies in Dec 2022 and have received course letter from institute as on Jan 10, 2023. Both my study permit and TRV are expiring on March 31,2023. I am currently in India and want to know if I should apply for my PGWP from India before leaving? Are the processing times faster if one applies from outside Canada?

Hi Guys! Applied for PGWP on Sept 5th. Ghost update today, status changed to "we are reviewing your eligibility.." so hopefully I'll hear some good news in the next few days.

Safe to say they are now processing those that applied in September.

They started processing applications from September, and I am still waiting since May. How does it make sense? :/

Please update here when you receive it. Btw, did you get any email when eligibility review started?
