I applied on the 17th July. Today makes day 63.....Anyone receiving any updates on their application. I applied on July 26th. My current employer won’t let me start working until I receive it. Would anyone recommend flagpolling and retracting online application?
new jIs this a new job? When is your study permit expiring?
There’s a high chance they may turn you back at the border since you already submitted an online application, but it’s a risk worth taking. But I will recommend you try flagpoling before retracting online application, so you don’t shoot yourself in the foot.
I’ll recommend you just wait till it’s approved. August 18 is still within the processing time, you can resume your job under implied status.I applied online on Aug 18th and still receive no response yet. But I have got a job offer waiting...
Would anyone recommend going to the border to do flagpole? Honestly I don't care about the application fee as long as I can get the work permit immediately. The thing is that it has already passed the 90-day window if I go to the border right now. Will it still work?
Aug 18 means it's been only 30-31 days and not 90.I applied online on Aug 18th and still receive no response yet. But I have got a job offer waiting...

In fact I can't because the job start date is Oct.1but my study permit and SIN number is expiring on Sep 30th. And the company (hospital actually) does not allow me to work although they have my sin number and proof of application for PGWP.I’ll recommend you just wait till it’s approved. August 18 is still within the processing time, you can resume your job under implied status.
No, I mean that you need to apply for PGWP within 90 days of your graduation letter right? It has already passed 90 days if I go flag poling right now.Aug 18 means it's been only 30-31 days and not 90.
Ok. In that case I woulds sggest you to stick with your current application as you never know an officer might refuse you on flagpole. You are in a bit of squeeze right now., I can understand that.No, I mean that you need to apply for PGWP within 90 days of your graduation letter right? It has already passed 90 days if I go flag poling right now.
May I ask what date did you receive the job offer? If it were received within the 90 days mark, then flagpole would have been definitely an option worth taking as long as you check off all the boxes. But your 90 days have passed, I’d recommend that you wait for the online application result.I applied online on Aug 18th and still receive no response yet. But I have got a job offer waiting...

The job offer is received after 90 days. So do you mean that if I received the offer within the 90-day window, even that I have passed 90 days now when I flagpole, I can still have a chance to get it? Also the cic processing time has not been updated since September 2nd....May I ask what date did you receive the job offer?

You can try to go to the border with your job offer, and explain to the officer, that the employer needs the work permit. Maybe they’ll be kind enough. It’s a risk worth taking, rather than missing a job opportunityIn fact I can't because the job start date is Oct.1but my study permit and SIN number is expiring on Sep 30th.

Good luck with it! And please keep us updated. BTW, may I ask if you have passed the 90 days since you received your completion letter?My study permit expires August 2019, and i applied within two weeks of receiving my completion letter from university. It’s over 100 days since i applied for the pgwp with my spouse. I resume my new job on Monday 24th, i am considering going to the border with my job offer and other relevant documentation to try and get the pgwp tomorrow. I just don’t want complications with the new job
Yes I am thinking about it, maybe I will try it this week after I got another official transcript. Just wondering if anyone has done this before...
