Yeah, the ones who applied on July 26 got theirs processed already. So lucky ~

I guess it does depend on the processor too...

In the last few days I saw in the forum people that applied around June 6 - 14 getting approved. The application with pgwp + spouse has taken 3 months and days/weeks, that was I noticed here in the forum and Facebook groups. I am from June 27 in the same situation and I hope to get it in mid-October.

Thank you. Waiting is the hardest part. Hopefully, it is just a matter of time.
Have you provided payslips and letter from the employer for the spouse or just the main applicant?

I applied for a PGWP and my partner applied for a spouse open work permit on the 27th of June. No news yet.

Yes, employer wrote NOC category in the letter.
I think the officer gave me this one extra month so I can re-apply. In the first application, I have all the information for eligibility, except duties in the job offer. Maybe second reason - my kid has approved SP.

I am going to ask my employer for the letter this week. What’s the format? Will it be addressed to IRCC or to whom it may concern? Can you please give a summary of what this letter should entail?

You should get it soon, just be patient

Did you apply with a valid job offer for your spouse? Or does your spouse work in NOC A B 0, if not I suggest you do something about it, because they refused most permits for spouses without job offer from primary applicant

 

[Iza1504]

Are they checking if the job offer is still valid? What if we change the job after the application was already submitted?
