Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)

[fakelucio]

Hi I applied for pgwp on 28 june and still waiting. Any idea how long will it take? Anybody else applied in june without biometrics??

Expect at least 6 months of processing time.

I was wondering if there are any applicants who are waiting for a PGWP approval and then plan on applying for an express entry later. I applied in early July and guessing by the current backlog my application won't be processed until Jan or Feb next year. I checked and I do have enough points to apply for an express entry but I am confused as to whether I should wait until my PGWP is processed. I am not sure if CIC allows for another application when one is already in progress. If there is anyone else in the same boat could you please help me out ? Thanks.

hi guys! i had one term being parttime because i withdrew one course due to difficulty. I have been fulltime in my entire 6 years study in Canada. Is there anyone in the same situation as me? do you prove letter of explaination?

I had 1 semeter in parttime(2015), and I provided a letter of explanation of what was going on. Applied on May 28, No updates yet.

Have you guys read the comments under ircc's posts on twitter? Lives are being destroyed. This is scary.

Where's the excel sheet that everyone was using to update their app status ?

I don’t think there is a spreadsheet for PGWP applicants.

Hey, I did the same a month ago. These applications are not related to each other, so feel free to apply for both at the same time

Hey guys! I just have a question - did everyone who got their application approved receive approval letter within 3 weeks? It's been about a month and I have yet to receive mine so just wondering if I am the exception or if it has been happening with others too.

I have applied on 31st July.

Any news so far? could you link your application ?

I really want to get my OHIP but without the physical permit, I can't.

Any news?

Any approvals
They are not processing apps without biometrics at all
