Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)

[misledhelix]

Hello,

This is the first time I am hearing about Flagpoling. Do we need a USA visitor visa to cross the border first before we can attempt to Flagpole ?

In-short, you dont need US visa, you are not entering US, when you reach US border officer you have to mention you intend to Flagpole, they will know how to process you. One of the other member had posted a link that explains flagpoling.. Here's a website (not official) : https://www.immigrationstationcanada.com/post/what-is-flagpoling

Hi everyone,
I applied for PGWP on September 30 and did not recieve any update yet. I tried calling them but no response. Anyone on the same boat?

Its was flight training academy and he is eligible for pgwp coz he have successfully completed the studies and students are getting approved for pgwp
Note: he took 4 years instead of 2 years and he changed school twice
But still no clue why officer refused his application
He is trying to get reconsiderration!!!!
Anyone have any more advice please help

If he changed schools, then for the flight training program did he complete the program in 2 or 4 years? Was he full-time for the program with no breaks? How long was he at the first school? So he started at one school, notified IRCC about changing schools, got approved to change schools, and then started flight school.

They didnt even start my eligibility from what I can see on my status. What should I do? Its more than 5 months now.

was the other school a DLI that is eligible for pgwp ?
usually pilot graduates get it with no issues even if you are not studying full time as far as as i know because of weather breaks etc ..

Try to get a consultation from a lawyer
