Wait for Post Graduate Work Permit- 7 months and counting

[Jagdeep0487]

Hi,

I completed my MBA from Canada in April 2015 and applied for Post graduate work Permit on 3rd May, 2015. Since then I am waiting for my work permit. I tried to flag pole but my application was already under processing for more than 90 days, so couldn't obtain PGWP through flag poling. The officer at canadian border told me that my application is approved and I should be getting PGWP anytime soon.

I tried reaching CIC help desk but everytime I call CIC helpdesk I get different answers, sometimes they say that the application is approved , sometimes they say it's still under processing.

Its almost been 7 months wait, and some employers have not extended me job offer , simply on the fact that do not have a PGWP.

I am in a dire situation. Kindly advise

Hi, have you contacted your MP's office?? I am waiting since June, I contacted my MP for help and they found out that it is approved but still processing and they gave me a timeline for when it will become official. Yet to see if they are right but depending on who your MP is, some are way more helpful than others and try to push your application forward so if I were you, I would definitely try that.

I totally understand that is such a long time waiting...... just wanted to share my timeline that I applied for my PGWP on 8th June, and it has been approved in 28th November. My other 2 friends who applied between May and June, their PGWP also got approved in last week. So I am guessing the processes are almost done for the applicants who applied during that time. I believe yours should be approved really soon too and you will be free from your concern..
