Continuous Follow-Up With Immigration Through Major Processing Delays: A Post-Graduation Work Permit Obtained Without Deficiencies｜Ms. T
Date Posted:April 20, 2026
Last Updated:September 24, 2026
Following a previous study permit extension, Ms. T asked us to handle her Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) application after finishing college. At the time of filing, the Canadian immigration authority’s average processing time had stretched far beyond expectations — an unsettling situation for an applicant about to start work. Shiraishi VisaJP Canada followed up directly with the immigration authority on an ongoing basis, and the application was approved.
I am deeply grateful for their consistently thorough handling throughout a long review period.

Key Points from the Consultant
We helped Ms. T with a study permit extension last time and with this Post-Graduation Work Permit application.
Average processing times had lengthened, which caused her concern, and although we enquired with the immigration authority several times, the answer was always that the case was still under review and to please wait.
She waited, but there were no questions or requests for additional documents, and the approval came through — which was a relief. Thank you for staying with us so patiently.
