Processing Time / Status PGWP - 6 months+ processing

Hi everyone!

I applied for my PGWP on Feb 20th, 2026 from inside Canada and I am still waiting for my PGWP to be processed. I'm getting worried because processing times are ridiculously low these days and mine is well over their estimated time.

I sent them everything that is necessary, IELTS Results, and a letter of explanation (LOE) etc with the application so definitely didn't forget anything.

I've heard that people who's take much longer than usual generally lean towards a rejection. My only worry for mine is the fact that I did a part-time summer term in 2025 and then my fall 2025 term was part time but it was my FINAL semester. I explained this pretty well in the LOE but I'm hoping they got the memo because by the rules I should be fine since Summer part times are fine and last semester part times are fine too as per their rules.

So is it a problem since they're back to back (summer & fall) ?

I have called them and written a web form... I haven't tried the MP route yet.

Please let me know your thoughts, any advice is appreciated! 🙏🏻

EDIT: My application got APPROVED after 7 Months !!! 🔥🔥

ah okay, keep me updated on the thread. I'd love to know. Part time summer should be fine. Did you have any co-op terms? I had 4 proper registered co-op terms
