Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)

[lovepreq]

Hi guys,

I applied on 3rd Apr and still waiting for pgwp however my all friends literally all of them got work permit on 5th and 6th June and they applied on 18th Apr.
So we had the same course which is masters for 2 years from university of Alberta.

Why mine is still under processing.

If you guys can share your experience that would be a great help.

Thanks

Depends on which officer is working on your application...it’s not one officer that works...maybe sometime next week you will get reply...

Ik it frustrating but hopefully u get it!!!

That’s indeed a long wait!!!

@newgrad2019 did you see how it works...
Some process fast while some are slow!

Also I think it has to do with the web form for those who didn’t submit some sort of document!!! And web form makes the application process faster “I think”

Bro but i was working part time when i was a part time student as my international student advisor advised me tht i can work part time being part time student in last semester if you were full time in all previous semesters. but many of my friends telling me now that you were not allowed to work at all. so im worried about this work can be any issue. please anyone with information reply

Absolutely no need to worry ! This is straight from CIC

Thank you so much for your reply. hopefully i get approved because i failed courses in semesters and had to take two extra semesters to complete those courses. ended up getting 2.3 GPA.

No such email yet maybe it's because it hasn't been a month.

Hello,
I don't think they update anything in weekend.
We should start hearing from people in mid-week.
