Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)

[STAYDOGGED]

Ah I see. I believe the IRCC website says the suspension will last until at least June 30? https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...delivery/coronavirus/temporary-residence.html

yea june 30th. hopefuly it wont get extended again as it has always been.

Fingers crossed. Do you know when the suspension started, since your application entered the eligibility review process in early May?

 

[STAYDOGGED]

Suspension started around late March to the first week of April.

There's been an update on the suspension: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...ices/ircc-resumes-processing-1-july-2020.html

Looks like they're restarting processing of visitor visas. Not sure how to interpret that in terms of PGWP processing, though.

That’s good news.
pgwp outside canada requires a visitors visa so it’ll definitely begin to process as well.

Hi Guys, I recently graduated from Dalhousie and applied for pgwp while I was in Canada. Due to medical emergency I had to come to India for few months. I wasn't able to give my biometrics while I was in canada. Can I give biometrics in India and should i intimate ircc that I have travelled to home country for medical reasons? If so which mail or whom to inform regarding this issue? Please help with your suggestions on how to proceed.

I can travel back after I recover ,My study permit is valid till November but I heard students are not allowed to travel back in this COVID situation.
