I have a question.
"A post-graduation work permit cannot be valid for longer than the student’s study program, and the study program must be a minimum of eight months in length."

so the question is:
if i graduate two different study programs (each lasting 8months, 2 years in row), can i get 2years work permit?

thanks

GOT IT!

I applied on DEC 19, online. On Feb 04, CIC asked me to re-submit one of the docs, which I did right the way (online). I received the permit by mail on FEB 15.

Good luck to you all!

MUSHROOMROOM according to the processing time on the cic website which is 62 days , your application is supposed to be processed today or tomorrow. try calling them and let me know ... this delay became annoying .

Hello,

I applied for my PGWP online on 22 Dec. 2012, I recently receievd an email in my Message Center MyCIC requesting resubmission of 2 documents which I submitted earlier. This message was sent on 6th March and deadline for submitting was 8th March

Its said in that email that you can submit these documents online. But the problem is that there is no option/button of submitting these douments online. I called CIC as a result and they are so frustating as they just tell every time to send in email answering 13 questions. I did that but did not get any reply yet till this day

Then on asking that is there any other way of submitting these documents they told me that you can submit these by FAX, but the Call center agent was not absolutely sure about this option. SO i did this too jsut to submit the douments before till 8th March.

Today I called CIC again and agent is telling that the application is still in processing and they have not recieved the faxed douments. I have also a job waiting for me from last 80 days and have attached my offer letter also while applying for PGWP.

I am really worried about this thing now as its already 80 days since I have applied.
Is any one facing the similar issue? Should I reapply as I am loosing time of 90 days to apply for PGWP? What to do now?
Please help!!!
