Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)

[vinodkutlehria]

I got approved today. However, my timeline might not be relevant for the others, since mine is a spouse OWP and tied to my wife's PGWP. She applied on January 27th and was approved on April 28th.

My timeline:
Applied: February 10
Biometrics: February 20
Correspondence letter: May 4
Approved: May 5

I do think it's still early for those who gave their biometrics on February 20th to be approved, so I think they approved mine because they already processed my wife's PGWP and my permit is tied to hers.

Yesterday approvals for 7th to 10 Feb came

Thank you.

I've heard that rates of approval for PGWP are high so I hope everyone who applied will soon get positive news.

And if someone is wondering about spousal OWP with PGWP: they really seem to only look into PGWP holder's work in a NOC 0, A or B. That's it. We didn't submit any proof of funds for me, and I was unemployed at the time I applied, and I indeed still am, because of Covid-19. We put my occupation as a homemaker. This is a legitimate option. You don't have to be employed for OWP. They really only look into PGWP holder's job. But a PGWP holder has to submit payslips from a NOC 0, A or B job.

Good luck everyone. I hope your applications will be approved.

Hi everyone ... I am new in this forum ...

Need clarification on PGWP .. how many years permit is given for 18months course in canada now ... cic site says less than 2 years course will be eligible for work permit duration equivalent to course length...

Pl clarify, people who have already got their work permit after 18 months course

My pgwp got approved today
Applied on 31 jan
Biometric Correspondence letter on 29 april
Approved today
Its all after 1 refusal and 8 months of waiting

So u got the wp for the duration of 1 or 3 years(depending on ur studies) i mean have they reduced those 8 months periods in which u were eligible to work full time or have given you the wp for a full 1 or 3 year period?
