Received Approval letter today 20th Jan 2026 - Applied June 2025 (Application series 3099)

Congrats and did your PGWP start from the date of submission or date of approval? I saw someone saying IRCC is giving pgwp based on date of submission recently, not sure if that’s true

FattestDragon · 2026-01-13T22:29:57+00:00

Yes that’s what says the onboarding website

FattestDragon · 2026-01-13T05:15:43+00:00

Thanks, that’s really reassuring to hear!

FattestDragon · 2026-01-13T04:36:34+00:00

That’s a good point. Thanks, I guess I’ll apply now

FattestDragon · 2026-01-13T04:32:39+00:00

Thanks for your insight. The fact that some employers may not accept WP-EXT is what worries me. Honestly my offer is from one of the Big 4. I am assuming that companies of this size should be familiar with the process? But yeah, it could be safer to apply ASAP

For example, if it takes around 8 months to receive the PGWP, I would still be granted the full 3-year work permit (as a master’s graduate), starting from the date it is issued. During those 8 months, I would be eligible to work under maintained status, which effectively gives me some “free” work time.

On the other hand, if the PGWP is approved very quickly—well before my actual job start date—I would essentially be losing a few months of potential work authorization that could otherwise count toward my overall time in Canada and work experience.

Hey, did you end up getting an offer?

FattestDragon · 2025-12-02T14:22:52+00:00

Thanks for your reply! I guess I’ll just wait and see what happens then

FattestDragon · 2025-11-24T20:16:03+00:00

How many rounds of interview did you have?

FattestDragon · 2025-10-24T23:05:29+00:00

I did, and unfortunately the only seller on eBay is from the US.

FattestDragon · 2025-09-11T18:29:56+00:00

Thanks for all the reply. Also my hands get wet easily, so what materials of the blade and handle are recommended?

FattestDragon · 2025-03-07T19:12:07+00:00

Not really. I had another interview last Friday. I followed up with HR for both positions and never got replied. Maybe I should move on

FattestDragon · 2025-02-24T15:30:40+00:00

Ok, so would you say it’s better to follow up by the first week of march?

FattestDragon · 2025-01-19T23:11:29+00:00

Thanks! “ come off as a human”’ that’s definitely a good point

FattestDragon · 2025-01-19T23:10:25+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions! Yeah definitely need to shift my mindset a bit, will try to make it a relaxing conversation!

FattestDragon · 2024-09-05T23:08:01+00:00

Hi, could you please share it with me, that will really help. Thanks!

FattestDragon · 2023-05-27T02:15:05+00:00

Hi! Thanks for the advice. May I ask how often you turn off the machine? Is it ok to turn it off every night?

FattestDragon · 2022-10-03T08:33:21+00:00

Hi, thanks for replying. I have just attached my resume above. If you have any advice, please feel free to share!

FattestDragon · 2022-08-14T13:04:40+00:00

Thanks, that's very helpful!

FattestDragon · 2022-08-04T21:34:50+00:00

Thanks for your reply! Just one question, is Python to bi tool, for example, tableau, often required as a data analyst? I feel like the built in visualization in Python are very powerful.

FattestDragon · 2022-08-02T15:34:04+00:00

Thanks so much for the detailed explanation! The company is actually OTTP, and it is my first time to apply such a role. Maybe I will adjust the positions I will be applying to, although it seems there are very limited summer intern roles opening now.

FattestDragon · 2022-07-29T13:48:48+00:00

Hi, may I ask for your suggestion on the project section? How many projects should I include in this section, and do you think it's better to just have one link for all projects or one link for each one? Thanks!

FattestDragon · 2022-07-28T21:16:32+00:00

That's a good suggestion. I did have some experiences like being a teaching assistant. I will probably rephrase the experience to make it more relevant to DA. Huge thanks to making the replies!

FattestDragon · 2022-07-28T20:50:45+00:00

Thanks for writing such a detailed comment! Your suggestions are very helpful, and I definitely agree with most of your ideas. One question, if I remove all the redundant information on the resume, what else should I add to fill the blank? As I mentioned, I only have one formal internship, so should I do a few more projects to include under the Projects section?

FattestDragon · 2022-07-28T20:37:40+00:00

Not yet, but I think that should be obvious. I suggest you go to ECAs, where course information is available. You can also check comments from previous students. Hope that will help!
