I applied July 13th for PGWP and for my wife open work permit. I regularly check the account; it’s still under processing. Please share if there is an update.
Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)
- Thread starter A_Smile
- Start date
I tried doing flagpole(border)on July 3rd, officer refused my application because I had a semester off during my masters program. However, I have an authorization letter from professor and university accepting my leave. CBP officer asked me to apply online as they don’t work for the CIC. Is it normal?
I applied online on July 13th it’s still under processing.
You can only take scheduled breaks, no other breaks even authorized by school.
At least you had someone that picked up the phone...how did you call? Can you give me the steps to dial please?
Hi I applied on June 9 with my children and nothing yet!!! I can't plan ahead without my PGWP and my employers need it. Its so hard to find a job and I don't want to lose it.

Are you employed already? Employers only technically need evidence that you have applied by law.
When they tell you that they are unable to transfer you to an agent. Hang up and call again. I followed this step for at least 5 times before i was placed on a queue. This was the second time calling them. Thet really do not give any relevant information other than the application is been processed and that they will send a reminder. For anyone that has not applied, if your spouse still have ample time on their permit, apply alone before submitting for your spouse. I just spoke to a friend that did that in January , got his pgwp and he applied for PR immediately..
Yes, if you are already employed, but asking a new employer to employ you on implied status seems like asking for too much, though it’s possible but it is better to just present your work permit rather than explaining stories. The way it seems now one has to be patient and hope that the new employer understands immigration rules and expect a miracle.

Congrats!! Can you pls share why your initial application was refused? Did d you apply with your family again.
Thanks!
Reason: my spouse job offer was without duties. So in the refusal letter officer wrote that I can reapply if I will add the letter from employer with same info + duties.
I applied by myself.
