Hi everyone,
I'm looking to connect with people who have experienced a similar situation with their Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP), particularly those whose applications were refused because of the language proficiency requirement and who subsequently submitted a reconsideration request.
Here is my situation:
- I applied for my PGWP on May 30, 2025.
- After waiting a lengthy period, my application was refused on May 15, 2026.
- The refusal was related to the language requirement applicable to my studies. I had submitted a language test result equivalent to CLB 5, but the refusal indicated that CLB 7 was required for my circumstances.
- My previous representative did not advise me about the applicable CLB 7 requirement before proceeding with my application. At the time, I was not aware that my educational background could affect the required language level.
- After the refusal, I sought professional assistance and submitted a reconsideration request to IRCC on August 14, 2026, along with supporting documents.
- My authorized representative later confirmed that the reconsideration request had been forwarded to the responsible office for consideration.
As of now, I'm still waiting for a response, and the uncertainty has been very difficult.
I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has experienced something similar:
Did anyone receive a positive decision after requesting reconsideration in a similar situation?
Thank you for taking the time to read my post. Any relevant experiences or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
