Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)

[Doomski]

I also applied on Oct. 1st. I got a job offer and I should upload the image of my work permit by the end of December. I am so worried!
Do you have any suggestions in this case?

Thanks.

I am in the same situation. I applied on 26th September and my job starts on Jan 6th , would have to postphone it unless I get it by the end of this month.

My starting date is also Jan. 6th. It's really stressful!

I was working off-campus for two years (tutoring) when I was on study permit, but I never worked more than 20 hours per week (Max: around 20 hours per month). In my PGWP application, I listed this part-time job in my work history, but I didn't put any additional documents. Is it necessary to provide documents and prove that the number of hours didn't exceed the limit? Should I fill in a web form?

You don't need additional document.

You don't need additional document.

Thanks and congratulations on your work permit! Did you also work off-campus?

Did you have any valid status when u applied? Did you submit restoration forms with ur application? If you did you could try paying now and hope they still consider your application.

Otherwise prepare for rejection, leave country and apply from abroad if you are within 180 days still.

No I didn't submit restoration form . I didn't know I had to restore status. Am I screwed?

Hey everyone!!
How long does it take for the document to arrive? I got an approval on Dec 11th, still waiting for the document.

Pretty much you will have to apply outside Canada, just make sure you don't exceed 180 days.

Hi everyone!

I applied for my PGWP with a letter of completion and an unofficial transcript from my university's website on October 6. On the CIC website, it says that a printout of the transcript from the university website should be sufficient for PGWP, but it looks like many people in this thread say that an official transcript is required. I wonder if anyone got their PGWP approved after applying with only an unofficial transcript?

I am expecting to get a decision on my PGWP application in the middle of January. What happens if I am outside of Canada at that time?
