I applied on 5th Oct still waiting. One of my friend applied on 2nd Oct got her work permit also one who applied somewhere in Sept got her. Yes I think in the past few days the process have slowed down.

I am in same boat.. when I was leaving from Canada I applied in March 30 and after three months in july they sent me letter regarding submitting more fee. so I have resubmited in Oct 09 and still waiting for response.. so much depressed with their processing time.. I hope they will update for oct files in next week ...
and I have applied paper based so cant even check my status even I sent case specific enquiry email regarding my update but no response...

Hi Everyone,

Applied for my PGWP on october 10th and got my work permit approval mail today ( Jan 28th ) saying that it has been approved. I got a second mail which asked me to login to CIC and gave me a pdf showing expiring on 27th of Jan 2017. does this mean i got work permit only for 1 year ?
I have studied for two years. 1 year pgm from seneca and 1 year from sheridan. shouldn't I get atleast two years. How can i get this rectified ? what are my options. I have a standing job offer for full time permanent from my company where I have been doing my internship.

Can I apply again or do I apply for an extension of work permit ? Some one please help.. I am worried about nw....
