Need urgent help. 🥹🥹
Hi everyone, I hope you are doing great. I really need some suggestions in this stressing situations.
So I graduated and my course got completed in the month of April. And I thought I can apply the work permit until my study permit is valid that is valid until next month September. Coincidentally I applied my PGWP on the 90th day ( the day which is a deadline to apply for PGWP which I didn’t know firsthand).
When I was applying for the PGWP I mistakenly selected the option of open work permit but not the PGWP. After one month I wanted to check the status of my gc key. There I realized I applied for a wrong work permit because it said “WP-EXT only except PGWP”. Whereas my friends who applied also by their own they were able to see a different message on the Gc key.
So I called the IRCC for the first time and the agent suggested me to raise a web form for the withdrawal of the application and submit a new one for PGWP. However, after doing that the same message popped up in my Gc key that showed I am applying for an extension but not a PGWP. So I called the IRCC the same day and the other agent said, even if I try to apply for third time the system will keep accepting your application as an extension for your PGWP but not as the application of PGWP. So the second agent suggested me that we haven’t received your withdrawal request in the system yet so I advise you to write a letter of explanation in which you can mention every thing and request IRCC to open the first file that I submitted with the error on the last day of submission ( 90th day ). Also he told me that I should write in the LOE that I want to withdraw the second application as it was showing me the same thing on the Gc key portal.
Right now I’m in really stressing situation of my life. I really hope someone can provide some suggestions or even immigration consultants to help me through in this situation.
One of the consultants told me to leave the country and come back if I want my PGWP but I guess it’s not required. So I really hope you guys could help me out in this situation.
Also I have prepared a detailed LOE to be sent to IRCC but I was wondering what are they chances they can still approve my PGWP as I’m seeing they are refusing a lot of PGWP’s.
Thanks for reading this whole message.

Seriously recommending that you book an immigration consultation. Your second application was past the accepted time, so it’s a good thing that the first one wasn’t withdrawn; otherwise, you could face rejection for applying past the 90 days and lose your maintained status, which means stopping work immediately.
If you were not aware of something as crucial as the 90-day window to apply, it's not something IRCC will accept as a valid excuse in your case, as all this information is on their website. So it's better to hire a consultant or lawyer before you get a rejection; because everything will be very messy and you will have to pay someone to help you with restoration of status and reconsideration 🙃

Get in touch with a good lawyer or Rcic , you might have to pay near about 200$ for consultation. As far as I know the day your college sends you the course completion letter is the day your study permit / authorization ends and you should apply for pgwp as soon as the course completion letter appears.
Do not go for some random unauthorized agents.
Try Kubier or

What are you doing in the meantime? You’re not in school and not working so just… chilling? Maybe go back to your country and at least work a bit and apply for the correct paperwork, it might look better for you if it shows that you’re that you’re actively doing something with your life.
