Hey guys,

Just want to share my experience which could help someone.

After completing my M.Sc in Computer Science from the University of Regina, I applied for my PGWP on 1st September 2021.
I waited for almost 5 months and got a rejection on 6th February 2022. As a refusal reason, they mentioned that "I have not maintained the full-time student status throughout my course in Canada". However, I have fulfilled all the requirements for a full-time student including the co-op program. So, I considered this mistake as a misunderstanding of the officer.

As a result of this situation, I had to resign from my field job as well as my part-time job immediately. To be honest with you, it was a very depressing time and I felt totally blank. Thanks to my family and friends who supported me throughout this period.

Apart from this, I went to my university and explained my situation to the director of International Studies who wrote a letter on behalf of the university which contained proof of my full-time study. Moreover, I also contacted a well-known lawyer in my city who helped me to write an explanation letter. I applied for reconsideration as well as for re-apply with the university's letter and lawyer's letter attached on 11 February 2022.

Luckily, around one month, I got approval for my old [reconsideration] application on 15th March 2022.
I am also in same situation, do u know which location was it? Mine was Edmonton , and once u apply for reconsideration did u receive any mail saying ur document has been received? I did not receive anything . Plz suggest your experience thanks .. I was rejected saying my school is not approved which is not true , so I have applied for reconsideration on 16th march but till now did not receive anything ..

It’s really hard to get a hold of them at this number , I always try at 7.59 then only I get connected to them
Hitesh was your reconsideration center Edmonton? Just asking bcoz Edmonton is mine , and I am bit nervous they read reconsideration letter or no due to this refugess backlog. I did not receive any email from them it’s been almost 24 days since I applied. And when I called ircc number they said they did not receive any of my webform , I am not sure how it works , but it’s all luck base as well I guess

As per my knowledge, it takes 28 days to receive a web form.

Hi, I think your case is different from my. If your school is part of the DLI, then it was a mistake from the officer. If so, then you can get approved very soon. I am waiting for 2 months now since I applied for reconsideration.
Did you get ur response ?
