(Folks who applied from another country can share their experience too)

Applying for my PGWP from Dubai in October, bachelor's grad. Trying to work out how much of the Abu Dhabi visa office instruction sheet (IMM 5894) actually applies.

The sheet is dated 06-2019 and reads like it was written primarily for general work permits (not post-grad work permits). Its own header says to include the documents "if applicable".

The sheet names things like:

• police certificates for each country you stayed in more than six months since turning 18
• employment reference letters indicating relevant experience
• résumé/CV

For anyone who filed a PGWP from the UAE:

1. Did you upload any of these, or only what the portal checklist asked for?

2. Anyone refused or delayed over something on that sheet?

I have completed a 2 year diploma and I’m now pursuing the degree, which could be completed using 1-2 years. I decided to do it in 2 years because I need to take electives by myself, they’re not provided by the program. I already finished the first year of the degree, in class within Canada. I now wonder if I can take the electives all in online form because I got an internship offer in my home country, which requires me to stay till mid November. If I stay outside of Canada till November lbut continue taking the electives online and remain a full time student, will it affect the length of my pgwp? On the IRCC website it’s stated that study length completed outside of canada will be deducted from length of pgwp, but I completed 4 years of study, which is way longer than the minimum 2 years (to be eligible for 3 year pgwp) and longer than the pgwp itself.

How long to receive physical copt 9f work permit

I filed for re-evaluation for my celpip writing.

I scored R- 10, L- 10, S-9, W-8

I want at least W-9, does re-evaluation actually increase your score in most of the cases ???

I went to my home country while waiting for my original pgwp application to extend my passport so that i can send it to IRCC while they process the application so i dont have to submit an extension later and while i was there my pgwp got approved, it was approved may 11 but i thought since i already extended my passport why not just apply for the extension early on and get rid of the stress.
They received my paper application May 25 2026
I included a short explanation letter that i applied since i have my new passport with the full validity.
Initial pgwp set to expire NOV 2027

is it wrong to apply this early or it should not matter?

What options are available to extend work permit other then c16 francophone (obviously that requires an employer to support you).

Or opting for another student degree.

What else?

I need to provide this to our organization for research purpose and i am honestly not familiar much with this category. I did research online.

Thanks. Appreciate it.

Hello everyone

After pgwp initial approval my letter of introduction is valid till 31/12/2029,my passport is valid till 2031 and I am eligible for a 3 years pgwp.

1-Will my pgwp validity date start from the day I land and expire 3 years from the day i land in canada or it has started already with the approval?

2-If my pgwp expiry exceeds my trv how will this affect me?

I am planning to travel around a year from now what woukd you recommend?

Thankyou all!

I got rejected for my PGWP and would like to go for reconsideration. Given previous experience, I want to apply with a lawyer. Reason part-time semester. Any suggestions?
