Hello all, this is my status on PGWP application

- August 31st: applied for the PGWP
- November 5: IRCC requests official transcripts and certified degree completed (Idk why they asked for those, I submitted a letter of completion). Anyways, I provided those after a couple of days.
- Now: I'm still waiting to hear back for the final decision. I think I'm going to loose a job offer due to the delay. The initial processing time was 55 days when I applied. It is 70+ days now. I tried calling IRCC, no luck getting hold of an agent, but the automated voice message says they have reached applications submitted August 26.

So I just got a letter from IRCC, and my application for a PGWP has been rejected. The letter states the requirement that I must have studied full-time continuously during my degree. But I had 2 semesters with 3 courses (part-time) and scheduled summer break.

Anyways, does anyone have any information or experience about these types of cases?

Hi friends,
My study permit will expire on Feb15,2019 ( my Wife's work permit as well) and we both are working. I am graduating in December (next month) and going to apply for PGWP by Jan10, 2019 and extension of my wife's WP, as I can meet the conditions for her WP extension. So, what if I won't receive the WPs by the expiry date of our documents ( Feb15)? Can we work after that date until we receive our WPs or we have to stop working?!
