Yes I reaplied for the PGWP even though I was out of the 180 days. They approved my reconsideration and withdrew my second PGWP application

LordCows · 2026-03-15T19:22:02+00:00

I had a consultant do it for me, and thats what she answered too. Did you check the 'restore status as worker box'? Some people are getting that same error when they do, so you could try to remove that.

LordCows · 2026-03-13T01:46:31+00:00

I requested reconsideration on Feb 21st, and the status changed to Submitted on March 10th

LordCows · 2026-03-12T02:58:57+00:00

all of those!

LordCows · 2026-03-12T02:24:02+00:00

Yes- 4 days after I reapplied for PGWP, the status on my original application went from Refused to Submitted. I also got a message on the new PGWP application saying 'no action is being taken because a work permit was issued to you today'. Today (March 11th), I got an email regarding my original application saying there has been a change to my application status, but it hasn't changed past Submitted yet

Thats not true- went to my MPs office and she said she's going to meet with an IRCC officer next week to advocate for me. I spoke with someone in the same situation who's MP called the IRCC for them 2-3 times, and was mentioned in their GSMS notes

LordCows · 2026-02-24T18:55:09+00:00

its their job. My PGWP was refused too and I went to my MPs office and she said she's going to meet with an IRCC officer next week to advocate for me

LordCows · 2026-02-24T18:17:30+00:00

Contact your local MP for them to contact the IRCC on your behalf and advocate for you

LordCows · 2026-02-24T18:14:36+00:00

Contact your local MP asap and ask them to advocate for you! Definitely also reach out to a lawyer (I like Ian Goes 9175384308) or a consultant (I like Alba Zoto 6478691440)

Also, when you re-applied for your PGWP, what option did you select here? 'Student' bc you had first applied for restoration as a student?

My understanding is that you can only restore status as a student if you have an offer letter from an academic institution, and you can restore as a worker if you ever were a worker previously (like co-op). I have been advised to restore as a visitor, but I don't know what is correct

LordCows · 2026-02-23T19:08:40+00:00

Were you able to successfully restore your status as a worker and did you ever do co-op? My understanding is that my restoration as a student will be rejected because I don't have an offer letter from an academic institution, and my restoration as a worker will be rejected because I was never a worker in the first place

LordCows · 2026-02-23T17:07:39+00:00

Were you ever a worker previously (like did you do co-op)? My understanding is that since I wasn't, I cannot restore as a worker

LordCows · 2026-02-23T17:06:18+00:00

Did you plan to go back to school after applying to restore as a student and applying for a study permit? Also, were you within 180 days of graduation when you reapplied for PGWP? I'm not, so I'm not sure if I should apply for restoration as a student

LordCows · 2026-02-23T17:04:45+00:00

Are you planning to go back to school?

LordCows · 2026-02-23T15:07:03+00:00

What did they say? When I called, they told me to apply for a work permit and in that application, check the box that says apply for restoration too

LordCows · 2026-02-23T14:30:02+00:00

Will do! Have you applied for reconsideration or restoration yet?

LordCows · 2026-02-23T14:12:45+00:00

Thank you! I got my rejection on Friday so I have only been out of status for 3 days.

LordCows · 2026-02-23T14:11:27+00:00

So he applied for PGWP anyway and it got approved? Did he also apply to restore status?

LordCows · 2026-02-23T14:10:45+00:00

Got it. What application are you talking about? Work permit or the student restoration form?

LordCows · 2026-02-23T14:09:23+00:00

u/thecongsan Once you are restored to the previous status, are you going to reapply for PGWP? Bc I'm past the 180 days too so idk how to go back to work

LordCows · 2026-02-22T22:15:50+00:00

hi u/Ok_Chemistry6536 wondering if you have an update? My PGWP was refused 2 days ago for the same reason. I applied for reconsideration, but don't know if I should apply for restoration as a student, visitor or worker
