Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)

[yafaa1993]

Anyone applied outland (before April) and haven’t received a decision yet?

Can't you work under implied status, I got a job offer for Sept 15 and applied for my work permit the day before (I hadn't had any work before). I finished my last class by end of aug so it took my school quite some time to finalize my graduation (and get that letter of graduation).

My employer are understanding (I think most do for tech position) of this, they know the whole implied status thingy. Though, if you would be working outside of Canada then I understand the need for it.

No...My application was for restoration along with PGWP...so I cant work with implied status..that's why I have asked for urgent processing

Im just saying that big employers know wp-ext don't worry explain it to them,

Thank you! I never got my wp-ext letter, asked for it twice through the webform.
They are just ignored me.

What happens if the decision hasn't been made past the expiry of the WP-Ext letter? Will the ircc send another letter to continue working until the decision is made?

they won't send another letter.

Your letter automatically lists an expiry date that’s 120 days from the date we receive your application. The letter expires in 120 days because

• it’s the service standard to process this type of application
• many employers and health insurance providers will ask for proof that you’re allowed to work
  • an expiry date helps satisfy their concerns about your status and authorization to work in Canada

If we don’t finalize your application by the date on your letter
If we don’t finalize your application by the date on your letter, you can still keep working until we make a decision.

If your employer or others need proof that you can continue to work

• you can show them this web page, or
• if your employer is not satisfied with the information on this page, you can contact us

I'm not positive about the processing time, maybe it's longer than 108.
This week, I didn't see many applications got approved.
