Hi guys everyone in this thread knows they are processing jan feb application now. Do anyone have any idea of the amount of applications received on march april because very less colleges give graduation on this months.

I think April/May are probably the months with the most applicants, that's usually when people start getting their final grades.
Didn't Service Canada close in late March? I think once they reach the April backlog that's when things will start to really slow down.

In my case, it is a reconsideration. I applied in Oct,2019, and got refused in Jan,2020. I requested for reconsideration in Jan,2020. It took 8 months for them to reconsider my application.

Were youallow to work during reconsideration period as an implied status?

I think lferfga is right. Most students would have probably applied in April/May cause that's around the end of the Winter/Spring semester. Processing will likely slow down then.

Collection of biometrics at Service Canada locations stopped in mid-March.

Just wondering if there's any way to expedite a work permit process considering a job offer in hand?

I don’t think so unless your job is considered essential service. PGWP is an open work permit, the decision will not take into account job offer. Many of us on this thread have job offers and started working full time a while ago.

I understand, however, I was thinking of submitting a web form explaining my situation. My SIN is expired too, and my new employer can't enter SIN in the payroll system as they're getting an expriy date error from CRA while entering SIN details.

It never hurts to ask them about it. I’d say go for it.
