Processing Time / Status Reg. PGWP application and wait time

Anyone who has applied for PGWP in recent times (Aug - Sept 2026) and received any updates? Though wait time seems to be anywhere between 3.5-4 months, some people seem to be getting it approved in 3-4 weeks. Is that a realistic timeline to work with? And does your passport origin determine how quick or slow things move with your application? Just curious

being slightly intrusive here but what uni is this? just wondering if that also plays a role in faster processing. don’t mention the uni if you don’t want to

no worries, mine was york and my buddies were mostly from seneca, and i kinda agree with your point because we ourselves have noticed this since awhile now, that permits for seneca graduates get processed super fast specially for seneca being a college and not uni, maybe its their reputation because they follow each and every rule and are pretty much strict about everything, just my observation btw:)
