PSWG - Pick up at the border?

[Jamestoca]

Hey guys I have a questin!

It's ok if I go there by car to the border (Niagara Falls) and pick up my PGWP instead of applying online? Does anybody already have done it like this?

Cheers!

You can try. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

What do you mean that sometimes it doesn't? They my refuse only because I went there by person?

It varies depending on officer to officer. But put all your documents like Degree, Transcript and Official Letter from the Institute that you completed the course, passport and fees(i dont remember exactly how much it was)

I got it! I'm thinking to bring with me all the documents that they require online such as my official Degree transcript, passport, the forms, Letter and Offer of Employment and the fees which is $255 dollars. Thus, I think should be ok, right?

Offer of employment is not required. This has nothing to do with a PGWP.

The transcript probably isn't enough. You need some sort of paperwork from your school that shows you have completed the requirements of your degree / diploma.

Note that if you aren't from a visa exempt country, you'll need to be holding a valid multiple entry TRV.

Do you know exactly what is this kind of paperwork that I need from my Institution? I thought that the transcript would be enough because If I apply online they just ask for the transcript.

I'm Italian citizen, so It should be ok.

Degree Completion Letter which would be stating that you have completed your Degree in this period of time. Obviously if you are getting it from University, it would be on University Letter Head.

 

[scylla]

You need a final transcript and also a letter from the school confirming graduation requirements have been met or formal notice of graduation. Transcript alone isn't enough.

Actually I just graduated from a College and I got a Diploma. All right, I got it.

Ok Scylla, I will ask them to provide me this letter also. Thanks!

Final transcripts OR official letter OR formal notification

Apply for a work permit within 90 days of receiving written confirmation (for example, a transcript or an official letter) from your institution indicating that you have met the requirements for completing your academic program
Provide a supporting letter from your institution outlining the duration of studies and the program code

I also agree with you. In the online application they just ask for one document.

You might want to look at the checklist for paper-based applications. Different instructions there. You should make sure you can meet the requirements of the paper-based application process.

You are right. It is interesting why so... different rules
