Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)

[Vessela]

Applied on September 1, still no updates since then. :-( Biometrics done for the study permit. I have two children as dependents, though... I hope to have the PGWP this month...

Hi, applied sept 7 from Ontario. Today morning I got a letter stating my bio-metric is still valid. The it is showing eligibility review started. But the background check is still showing processing. Is it normal?

I believe it should be normal. I got the same from IRCC.

Thank you @FarzanHyder and @astraldust. When did you receive bio-metric correspondence letter? I just received it today, not sure if they are working on Sunday or it is system generated...

I received it this morning as well. Could be a coincidence coz even I applied on Sep 7th. Well from the previous approvals we can see that they are processing the applications around the standard 90 day period. So I think we should have ours in a week or two, if not early. ‍

So it seems that they are working even on Sunday?

I think so, I applied for my PGWP and visitor record for my spouse. Both of us received bio-metric correspondence letter around 11am.

Yey, PGWP and children's' visitor records approved today, eligibility started yesterday! Applied September 1st. I'm so happy! Now we need my husband's OWP approval ;-) Thanks you for sharing people! It gave me hope.
