I am graduated in Quebec, after submitting my application for PGWP, up to now, have nothing happened. I did everything I could, called them, wrote them via web form.

Did anyone has the same situation and got approved finally?

pls advise.

what do you mean by you called them? did the call get through? if so, what did they say?
I left my phone number on the cic hotline vocal box, they called me back in 25 minutes. It was a waste of time, she could do nothing, just explained the implied status.

they can actually make a note on your file for faster processing.

dont ask me how i know
when the processing time on cic said, they are working on 8 July, I made my first call to them, I thought she did what she could do. yesterday, the processing time became 16 July, I telephoned them again, the other one spoken in the same speech as the first one. But she remained me, a web form is a way to let the agency know my situation, I might attach my job offer on it.

I dont think you have to worry, but based on this website ( i usually like to prefer IRCC websites). if you meet the eligibility and submitted everything right. it will come to you. Based on the website, it say you are allowed to work while waiting for result. I should said considered it as implied status. For my time, i just travel and toke a break from school, before start my work field. to find boss and job that support your PR is harder task than applying permit.

I have an offer in the remote area of English province, it would not be easy for me bcs I used to speak french but at least I do have it. and my boss accepts my implied status. what i am the most concerned that's my health insurance and my wife's open work permit. And also I hope that I did not make any mistake in my application.

im tired to type more word here, gonna copy a link and you can read thru. i think you and the other post is similar, differences just provincially. Please read the whole threads from page 1 to the end. https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/pgwp-at-port-of-entry.665231/page-2#post-8320300

this is only my views and all depends on your situation. you will definitely get your WP. just for your wife status , either be visitor or try to apply wp for her. Any questions, please call IRCC or related department. dont rely too much on the forum...

If a date if given, it's for "Most Applications" not all.
So not all can be processed similarly, some take longer, by a day or week or month.
