Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)

[esnmrdi]

What country did you apply from? I have applied from Pakistan as well just anxious about wait times

Iran.
However, as Canadian embassy has been closed in Iran since 2013, our applications are processed in Turkey.

June 1 applied from Vancouver, still waiting. Tomorrow would be 90 days since I graduated, if something messes up, won't even be able to reapply and keep working on implied status. I hope nothing wrong happens.

Isn’t it 180 days?

It’s 180 if you’re outside Canada. In Canada, you have to have legal status to reapply. So if the 90 day period is over, and one wants to reapply... they can but they’ll have to restore their status.

What do you guys think of getting it by flag-poling? My coop work permit didn't arrive and it was more than the processing time, so I went to the border and got it, but that was 2 years ago. Worst case, I'll fly to the US and come back and try to apply at the border.

Been thinking about doing that but I don’t know if it would work out because my study permit has expired

I don't think you need a study permit. Mine also expires end of this month.

Can we do this (flagpoling) while we have an online application in progress??
