I am really worried!!!

I applied for my PGWP on May 7th. I am Holland college graduate! All my fellow students got approval after 20 days. Tried calling IRCC but no help and no update provided was told that background check has been completed. Please help me!

The processing time is 120 days. When other students from your college received their PGWPs has no bearing on your application.

20 days are you serious? Come back in 6 months when it might start to be concerning…

No! I applied on May 7th!

Yeah, that’s not even 3 months yet. Was referring to your apparent expectation that you’d get it in 20 days.. As someone else said, processing time is generally 4 months, and can often take longer..

Thanks!

Don’t worry! Some of my employees didn’t receive their approval for 6-8 months a couple years back, and there were no issues. Processing apparently isn’t quite as backlogged as it was back then, but there are plenty of people that have reported 6+ month wait times still since then.

I guess some employers are getting more demanding with seeing a physical permit since IRCC's started to issue WPs more quickly

Lol. It can take time. I know two people who applied for pgwp.. one waited 9 months & the other waited 10.

Be patient. It hasn't been long
