My work permit was approved on March 21, 2021 and so far I haven’t received the physical copy.

How long does it take after the approval?

Work permit expired on September 29,2020. Applied for PGWP under new Public policy on March 13,2021 with restoration. Got approved on April 13,2021 valid until October 13,2022. Waiting for the document to come in mail.

Good luck to those who are waiting!!

Hi, am I still eligible for the pgwp extension even if I didn’t lose my job or experience reduced working hours? I need some clarifications please. Thank you

 

[Malibu25]

Is there any reason that the government will not approve the application for the public policy? Or they are just approving it right away? Thank you

Please let me know if you received any help.. I'm in the same situation, I went to USA in November 2020 and came back to Canada in February 2021. I'm not sure whether I'm eligible to get PGWP extension under this public policy, as I was not present in Canada when this policy rolled out. My PGWP will expire on November 22, 2020.

Please anyone advise?

I got refused today and these my refused letter below, and I got resubmitted again because I choose something wrong on IMM5710e.
I check with my friend that he got approved. I choose the different thing for him like;

I change from "apply for a work permit for the first time or with a new employer" to "apply for a work permit with the same employer", and
PGWP to Open work permit"

and added letter specified "I am applying for an Open work permit under new policy"



This letter refers to your application for a Post-Graduate Work Permit.

Based on your application and accompanying documentation that you have provided, I have carefully considered all information and I am not satisfied that you meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and Regulations. Your application as requested is therefore refused.

Foreign students in Canada are eligible for a work permit for post-graduation employment on a one-time confirmation exemption that cannot be used again following the completion of any subsequent courses of study. You were formerly issued a work permit for post-graduation employment in 25JUN2018 and as such you are not eligible for another work permit in this category.
