Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)

[raynadukkandy]

My PGWP got approved on 14th March and got the soft copy in GCKey on 15th. But I have not received my physical copy yet. How long does it usually take? Also, can I apply for TRV without the physical copy scan?

Yes you can, it has already been explained in this thread numerous times.

Is anyone aware of actual processing times for TRV recently for inland application?

Any December approvals?

I have applied NOV-9th and still no-decision. I don't think they have started December applicants.

I have applied NOV-22th no-decision yet. My IMM0127 letter will expire tomorrow. I requested two times to send me a new letter by Webform but IRCC don't help. Can I still work even if my letter expire?

HI I am in a similar situation , my immigration letter is expiring in 2-3 days. No reply to my webforms and calls either,
I will try calling again today and will share if they answer.
Did you hear anything about you work permit yet?

No change in processing time this week
Hopefully it will go down from next week!!!

As of today it shows 134 days for PGWP. Can we expect it to go down in the coming days?

With the new Ukrainian programs I really doubt it

here it says we have to apply for a continued proof of authorization using web forms . But of course no response from them..

Letter validity

Officers should understand that the validity date of the letter in no way overrides the authority of paragraph R186(w), which allows foreign nationals who meet the requirements to continue working until a final decision is made on their work permit application.


The letter has a 120-day validity from the date of receipt, which corresponds with IRCC’s service standard for in-Canada applications. Historically, IRCC meets its service standard more than 90% of the time; therefore, only a few applicants will require a new letter. Most should receive a decision before the 120 days have expired.

If the 120 days have passed and no decision has been rendered

In cases where the 120 days have passed and no decision has been rendered, the applicant may request continued proof of authorization to work using the IRCC web form.


Client Support Centre (CSC) agents can follow their standard procedures to respond.
