Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)

Hello, I recently got my approval for the PGWP, but I didn't get any email updates or online documents for the approval. Is this common? How long does the hard copy takes to arrive (located in Ontario)?

It's normal. You'll get an email for approval letter though within 2 days of approval. Physical permit can take upto 2 weeks. Can you share your complete timeline?

Hi all, a silent reader here. I applied for pgwp on June 3rd, work permit extension for spouse and study permit extension for 2 kids on same date. I got approved today Dec 1st. Thanks all for sharing your timeline.

SOWP approved
Application filed - 30–June
Eligibility review - 9-Nov
Status - Approved for 3 years (29-Nov)

I applied on 8th July, eligibility review not even started. I guess I have to cancel my flights as in your case they took 20 days for approval after eligibility review stage. :/

Hello Everyone. I wanted to ask if we can leave and re-enter Canada before the completion letter/transcript is issued and then apply for PGWP on re-entry inside Canada, not at the port of entry. My study permit and visa will be valid at the time of re-entry. But,I just wanted to ask anyone did that before? What questions does the officer ask at the port of entry?

I applied on 4th of July and still didn’t get approval. Even my eligibility review has not been started. What to do? My friend who applied on 1st of July she got it. Few of the friends who applied after me they also got pgwp. I’m scared

Just wait. Each officer is assigned a load of files. So sometimes sequence is broken depending on how long some files take.
