Post Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) current actual processing time

[mek85]

Hi all members,
Processing time for PGWP online application is showing now 18 days & they are working on application received on May 1. but here we get some updates from fellow members about they applied in second week(May 9 & May 11) and approved in last week(May 27 & 26) of May.

I applied my PGWP on April 28,2016 along with my wife's visitor extension. there is no updates on my file yet. Is there anyone who applied in April or before April who are still waiting for it?

Thanks in advance to all.

For those who have already received your PGWP, when did you apply and what is your date of issue ?

So from all these updates here, it seems that the average processing time has improved for PGWP which is good - It looks like the average processing time now is anywhere between 15 to 20 days. That is a superb turnaround time from CIC considering it used to take 90 to 120 days until couple of weeks ago.

Congrats! I am still waiting my application submitted on 18th. BTW, what's next after getting PGWP? do we have to apply visa again? or the visa comes with PGWP together?

Did you apply alone or with your spouse?

If someone is in badly need of a PGWP to start a job as soon as possible. You can do "Flag-polling" too so that you don't have to wait even 18 or 20 days.

My online application says PGWP approved. But there is no email or document provided. What am I missing?

When I did the study permit it takes a day to get a pdf and a message.

Applied May 14
Approved June 3

Total processing time 21 days!
Waiting for the mail copy.

Studied 2 years but got 1 year PGWP. Called CIC agent and have put a note for reconsideration. Told to wait for 3 months.

Don't think they even saw my docs properly.
