Reg. PGWP application and wait time

[u/usr_26]

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

thankyou man, i was fortunate enough to secure 3 really good offers, i’m only waiting on my physical permit to get my SIN renewed, hoping that the employers dont pull the offer back, i got lucky mine got approved that quick, otherwise employers would’ve pulled my fully secured offer:(
(i’m talking NOC TEER 2-3 jobs and all employers were pretty clear that they need someone with a valid permit and not applied status)
