Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)

[mnint]

I have a question if anyone can guide me on this..
I have 3 months till my study in Canada ends and my study permit expires on July 31. I have not visited my family in years and got an airline ticket pending. I was thinking that if I were to visit them first and apply for a study permit after coming back, will there be a problem? I also have to do medical for the pgwp.

I would suggest that you get your PGWP first. Nowadays, its only taking few days to get approved for PGWP. I know its hard to stay away from family but you already waited for years, I say just wait a little bit more, get the PGWP and then you are free to travel.

I would wait for the PGWP, as a student you would need to quarantine when you come back here with your university, and I'm not sure how that will work if you graduated.

Any changes to eligibility review status?
What does it say?

Nothing at all. Eligibility review is not started. So sad.

I got another ghost update through email today, my UCI was already added so I'm not sure what that was about.

It means your application is received in the system. Now wait for someone to work on your file.

Please mind, I have never received a message/email that my application was approved or that status changed. At all!
Maybe it will come tomorrow.

Good luck everyone!

I tried logging in, and it did with no issues.
Try incognito mode, a different browser maybe?

Thank you. Yes it eventually started working.

I wonder why there are no updates today. I kind of feel encouraged with the updates. It gives hope

Congrats, looks like IRCC isn't sending emails lately lol.
Same issue back in 2019 for my SP extension.

Looks like the lead time is around 2-3 weeks which is pretty good
