Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)

[BA101]

Finally guys!

PGWP application, inland, ON

Applied: September 13, 2021
Approved: January 26, 2022
Eligibility review: unknown
Valid for 3 years (2-year program)
No emails so far

Just wanted to say thank you to all the participants of this forum who've been sharing their experiences and timelines. You guys have helped me a lot to stay sane throughout this stressful process.

For those of you whose applications are imperfect like mine was, I'd say stay hopeful and always, ALWAYS, attach a LOE!!
I took a leave from studies and kind of dropped out for 1 semester while being outside of Canada before continuing with my last semester. In a LOE I explained why I made that decision. Was very anxious that a visa officer reviewing my file would not consider my reason for taking a leave as something important and would issue a rejection right away. But everything worked out well and I wish a happy ending to each and every one of you guys!

Congratulations!!

From where do you view this time line?

Actually that data is based on past 8 weeks. It does not reflect what IRCC officers did in the last week and are doing now since the data is most influenced by older data.

Hi,
Is it a good sign or a bad sign that my eligibility review started just 2 days after submitting my pgwp application?
I am applying from outside Canada and the processing time seems to be high so confused.

 

[NikitaLisbon]

Oh you can do both in one application?

yes, usually they ask when you specify you're applying outland

Finally received PPR for my application.
Date submitted: 29th January 2021
Country: india
Eligibility review started: 7th September 2021

QQ, what should I select for "did you enrol biometrics for this application?" question in the vfs webform for passport submission? I enrolled for biometrics in 2019 for my study permit.
