Hi Guys,
I applied for the PGWP on May11th so it's been 141 days since I applied while the processing time on the website is currently132. It seems my PGWP should be processed but it hasn't been processed yet. How does that number-of-days calculated?
Thanks!

what's your status in MyCIC?
 
HI Mao614,

I also applied my PGWP on 13th of May... and I am still waiting.
My status is also open.. >:(

Hi mao614,
did you receive a request letter which requires you to pay another $100 (open work permit folder fee)?

HI LL2015

Yes, I already received request letter.
I paid on that day, but I made crucial mistake that I did not sign the form...
So receipt was uploaded but not provided until after 8 days I realized the mistake..... OMG...
I hope it is still okay...  :(


Do you know if we receive confirmation letter for paying $100?
 
Hi Mao614

Sorry I was not clear in my previous msg and scared you.
I believe once you uploaded your receipt, then CIC will ask you electrically sign your name.
If you have typed your name there, it should be alright.
You can check your my cic status to see if document was only uploaded or provided.
(if it is stated as provided, then I believe it should be all good)
 
HI LL2015,

My application seems to be approved too!!!
(My cic status is closed and it is stated application has been approved)
But I have not received any letter or mail stated visa will be mailed to me....

Did you receive any email or letter stated visa will be sent to you?
 
So frustrating! The processing time seems to be increasing...on the CIC website online applications for new work permits now stand at 145 days! Longer than paper applications :S

Has anyone applying back in June/July received their PGWP? I applied in Sep after finishing my program.
 
Hi All,

It seems as if this PGWP takes very long to get. I will be starting school in Jan 2016. I will be doing a 8 months certificate program. Is it possible for me the apply for the PGWP as soon as I have started school to avoid the delay after I completed my study program?
 
I had the same question and wanted to apply during my last semester.

But I was told that I couldn't because to apply for a PGWP you need to show proof of program completion (submit either a letter of completion from school, your final transcript showing that you are clear to graduate or your degree certificate). So you have to wait till you have completed program.
