Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)

[hamsterlegend]

Hey everyone,
I just received my PGWP approval today (applied within Canada)
Applied: June 2
Wp-Ext: June 3
Final decision (Approval for 3 years): June 26

It only took 24 days to process my application. I also had 1 part-time semester during my first year but my case is quite unique as the situation was not in my control.
Best of luck to everyone!

Is it possible to stay in Canada and continue working under maintained status while my PGWP extension application is being processed?

Raise a webform . I did it 3 times every month , until i got a proper response like below. The key is maintaining the status -In your case you are mainatining the status (https://www.canada.ca/en/services/immigration-citizenship/helpcentre/glossary.html#maintained-status) - i believe you are in implied status!!

We verified the information you provided and can confirm that your work permit application is still in process. If the letter we sent you when you applied online to extend or change your work permit is now expired and you haven’t left Canada, you have maintained your status. You can keep working under the same conditions of your current work permit until we make a decision on your application.

How long they took to reply on you webform?? I mean how much months as i have also submitted a webform on 26th june but still i didn’t get any response yet

Did you apply for visitor record before study permit expired?

hey man it seems like you paid the correct fees so i think you are OK provided all your documents are good.
you can go through my profile to read about my personal (and stressful) journey to finally receiving PGWP, but i applied with a similar position, my study permit expired May 30 2023 and I didnt know my letter of completion and transcript would come after, but they came on June 11th and I applied for PGWP with restoration of status. ($255 + $350)

I got approved for PGWP with full validity on Oct 23rd 2023

Hi
I submitted my pgwp application without restoration of status. I completed my studies on 18th dec my study permit expired on 19th dec. Applied pgwp on 22 dec, i am unaware of restoration of status and after 2 days i paid 350$ restoration fee as a student and attached that through webform. Receipt is now attached to my file. Is there anyone with the same situation who got approval.

Did you get approved ?

Hey everyone, i applied on july 6 and didn’t receive result yet. Anyone else with the same timeline, who have heard back from ircc? And also if it is taking this long, does that mean there might be something wrong or it’s just normal?
