Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)

[maccyd10]

I applied 16th, havent even got review yet. There's people on the excel sheet before me who havent gotten it either. Dont know whats happening, i need it ASAP as i have a job starting in 10-15 days.

You may work full time while awaiting a decision on you PGWP, also the hours of work accrued during this time is counted toward your Canadian experience class.

I don't recommend you leave the country till you get it. When does your study permit and SIN expire? If those expire while you're out of Canada, how do you plan to come back to the country on an expired study permit? If not, you're good to go.

My student visa is expiring on 31st May. My Work permit was rejected in December due to Transcript error & after New Rules , I have applied again in a new application on 14th February with all the necessary documents . So what you suggest ? Please Reply.

I'm SO sick of waiting for the PGWP. My first PGWP application was refused because I hadn't attached my letter of completion. I hadn't attached it intentionally because on the website it was stated that I can attach my transcript OR my completion letter. I attached the former, going by what their website stated. I reapplied on Feb 14th with BOTH documents. Also, when I did reapply, the website asked for the completion letter ONLY. So in total, I would've waited for close to SIX months for my PGWP, as opposed to three months like most of you.

I already lost out on one opportunity because the employer refused to wait any longer. This is pathetic.

Dude that really sucks, I'm sorry.

I applied today and submitted both as I figured it couldn't hurt. You know that you can work full time while awaiting approval right? Would your employer not hire you unless you physically had the permit?

True..its very frustrating to wait for PGWP. Even i am waiting for PGWP for 6 Months. That was due to Error In Transcript. (That was they said).

Is there any chances my permit will get approved till the date & i can travel or Should i postpone my Travel time ?

As long as your TRV and Study Permit are still valid until your date of return to Canada there will be no problem

Submitted on Jan 21, and got approved on April 26.
I found out I forgot to declare previous US visa refusals in the application form after 10 days of the submission. Then submitted a Webform to explain and declare, to avoid the misrepresentation. They confirmed receive my message one day after.
I think this may be the reason of delay....as new info was put in.....

Will you be back in the country before May 31st? Coming in on an expired student visa is very risky, on what grounds would they let you in? You need to prove to immigration that you can legally come back - what do you have that you can prove this?

Your TRV must have expired too. For the love of god, don't leave the country till you're totally sorted here.
