Processing time for Post-Graduate-Work-Permit on GC website

[tisep]

Dear friends,

I have applied for the post graduate work permit(PGWP) a month ago. Still haven't heard anything back yet. I looked up online. There are a bunch of categories that relate to work permit, such as OCWP, Work Permit(same employer), Work Permit(different employer). But it doesn't show PGWP's processing time.

Does anyone know which category PGWP belong? Roughly, how long should I be expected to wait?

Thanks!!!

Hi


Work permit new employer probably.

But PGWP is an open permit, right? I would assume it belongs to the Off-Campus work permit category...

Any one applied for PGWP recently? How long does it take for you guys???

Thanks!

It is already 34 days and I still haven't heard anything. I used the online status-checking utility, no record of my application yet. Is it a bad sign?.... panic...

I called the call center. It takes 54 days... I guess the PGWP belongs to the Work Permit (new employer) category... Damn...
