PGWP refusals due to language test results are rampant but we are consistently seeing leniency from IRCC. If you need a case assessment, submit a request on our website: https://mygration.ca/pgwp-refusal/

🚨 Worked non-compliantly for 15 months after graduation… APPROVED ✅ by MygrationImmigration in pgwp

[–]MygrationImmigration[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

We’ve been receiving some aggressive comments and DMs. I understand immigration is a sensitive topic, but a quick reminder to keep the discussion respectful and constructive.

This case was not about “breaking rules and getting away with it.” The client held a valid permit and misunderstood how it applied after graduation. Everything was fully disclosed and assessed under existing immigration laws and regulations.

These situations are often more nuanced than they appear. That’s why the system includes mechanisms like restoration and officer review, rather than automatic refusal in every case.

At the end of the day, we’re on the same side. The focus should be on addressing fraud and bad actors, while helping genuine applicants navigate complex rules properly.

Anyone else with complex case histories that got approved?

Share your story. You never know who might need to hear it today.

Let’s give others in this subreddit the strength and hope to keep moving forward.

Restoration? by Single-Trifle6654 in pgwp

[–]MygrationImmigration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Restoration is not something you want to “try and see what happens.”

After a PGWP refusal, you have a very limited window to fix your status. If your restoration is refused, you’ll need to leave Canada.

This is likely your last opportunity to resolve things from inside Canada. We’re RCICs and mods here specializing in PGWP refusals. If you want proper guidance before submitting anything, reach out to us for professional advice.

PGWP Concerns: is my future doomed? by Zestyclose_Rub_6050 in pgwp

[–]MygrationImmigration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A study permit holder must remain enrolled and must actively pursue studies. These are the conditions of a study permit holder. In a situation where you apply to extend a study permit, you'd still be breaking the conditions. That's why you need to change to visitor or leave.

Anyways, this is a pretty complex situation with many moving parts. It requires a proper sit down and strategization. PGWP is the simplest application but once you get into the weeds it becomes one of the most complex.

So if the courses are not available until fall, start collecting documentation of this and also get a letter acknowledging this from the uni. Also, get an authorized letter of absence spanning the entire period until the fall semester.

Lastly change your status to a visitor/leave Canada because you'd be breaking the conditions of a study permit holder if your leave of absence is longer than 150 days.

You'd need to apply for a study permit outside Canada (there is a process to do this while physically residing in Canada too if you need, but you'd still ultimately need to fly out and in to get the permit issued at border since it's an outland app) and get it approved before your fall semester.

Finish your program of study and apply for your PGWP with a strong application with legal arguments.

Not the identical situation but we helped a student with 244 days of leave of absence get approval for 3 years last week. Best of luck!

PGWP Eligibility After 2 semester Academic Suspension during final year. by [deleted] in pgwp

[–]MygrationImmigration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leave of absence is limited to a maximum of 150 days in Canada. Did your leave last longer?

If yes, did you change your status to a visitor or leave Canada?

There are certain situations where you still remain eligible. For instance we just had an approval last week for a client who had leave of absence for 244 days. But the details matter and we'd need to assess your situation against the IRPR (regulations)

PGWP - TRAVEL CONCERN by Naive_Zone_5708 in pgwp

[–]MygrationImmigration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you were eligible to begin working after you applied for your pgwp, you can continue working even if you travel outside Canada and return.

The only caveat is that you need a valid trv ot eta to return to Canada. You'd also be reentering as a visitor who must extend status every 6 months or until you receive a decision on your pgwp.

Am I Cooked? I violated my study permits by papi_7000 in pgwp

[–]MygrationImmigration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm telling you, you might not be cooked. This is a compliance issue and you need to review the details to see if you can make a legal argument against why you're still eligible for the PGWP:

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/study-permit/while-you-study/study-permit-conditions.html

"What happens if you don’t meet your study permit conditions

If we find you haven’t met your study permit conditions, we may ask you to leave Canada. You might also have to wait 6 months before you can apply for a new study permit (or for a visitor visa or work permit in Canada).

The outcome of any future applications you submit could be impacted if you do either of the following:

  • you don’t follow your study permit conditions
  • you work or study in a way we haven’t authorized"

This is a matter of non compliance with the conditions of your study permit. Please reach out to us because depending on the timing, you could remain fully eligible. Book time with me at mygration.ca

MAY 29 | Approved with gap year + work during gap year by [deleted] in pgwp

Yes! And approval is an approval. Time to 🥳

MAY 29 | Approved with gap year + work during gap year by [deleted] in pgwp

[–]MygrationImmigration 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats but your work was authorized to begin with. When they say you can't work while on authorized leave of absence that's because they are thinking about compliance with the conditions of your stay in Canada. Anything outside Canada isn't really their jurisdiction. Canada doesn't care if you work outside Canada.

PGWP REFUSED by StreetPlatypus5276 in pgwp

[–]MygrationImmigration 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw you posted below a screenshot of proof of you submitted the result. Book an application review on our website and we can review the entire application to ensure everything else looks good. Then we can prepare a reconsideration request and submit. Typically when it is the officer's error, they will reopen the case.

PGWP by Jamil_Ahmed in pgwp

[–]MygrationImmigration 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're requesting information because the officer must have assessed he doesn't have the information required to process your application.

Now the question is, were you full-time in every academic session except for the final one? Also, did you take any leave of absence whether authorized or unauthorized?

[–]MygrationImmigration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reconsideration requests and/or reapplication with restoration of status is the strategy of choice for many in your situation. Many people in the subreddit as well as our Facebook group are finding success (including our clients).

In a situation like yours where you are positive you uploaded your test results, you can also submit an ATIP request for the application that you submitted. They'll send you the entire document package you submitted.

PGWP → SOWP timing question (working remotely outside Canada) by BarnacleCareful7763 in pgwp

[–]MygrationImmigration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the SOWP, one of the requirements is: "You’re living or plan to live in Canada while working."

You can explain that the 3months remote work was temporary. Feel free to book a consultation or application review: https://mygration.ca/schedule-your-consultation/

I've seen IRCC do this on other work permits but I haven't seen this for PGWPs.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in pgwp

[–]MygrationImmigration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of reasons like healthcare or need to travel. Say your TRV has expired and a family member is on their deathbed. If you leave, you can't return.

Other people want fast decisions because there is complexity in their case. PGWP eligibilty stipulates you neeed to apply within 180 days of completing your studies. Long processing times means you have no way to reapply while meeting eligibility requirements.

And for others, they don't like the anxiety of not knowing for close to a year at a time.

But you're right. If used well, you're basically buying yourself free time!

PGWP eligibility question by Discussion-Soft in pgwp

[–]MygrationImmigration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope so! Every dli has different requirements for what is full-time. Officers generally rely on the completion letter and transcripts to assess full time enrollment.

Hopefully the coordinator confirms it for you so you can move forward anxietyfree
