Securing a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) Without Issues Despite Significant Processing Delays Through Continuous IRCC Follow-Ups

Last Updated:September 20, 2026
Following a previous study permit extension, this case involved an application for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) after the client graduated from college. At the time of application, IRCC’s average processing times had extended significantly beyond expectations, causing anxiety for the applicant who was preparing to start working. By continuously following up directly with IRCC on the client’s behalf, we successfully secured the permit’s approval without any issues.
I am truly grateful for their consistent and courteous support throughout the prolonged processing period.

Customer Comments and Testimonials
Why did you decide to immigrate to Canada?
I wanted to obtain a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) as a stepping stone to gain local work experience after completing my college studies in Canada.
What made you choose VisaJP Canada?
Because this application was critical to my future, I wanted to apply through professionals with a proven track record rather than handling it on my own.
What was the most memorable part of the process?
What stood out most was how they always provided thorough answers to my questions. Specifically, since the IRCC processing time was delayed much longer than usual, I became increasingly anxious. However, VisaJP Canada followed up with IRCC appropriately and shared the progress with me, which allowed me to wait for the result with peace of mind.

Future outlook and a message for those planning to travel to Canada
Regardless of your language proficiency, leaving the process to professionals ensures that your application is submitted perfectly without missing documents. It is also highly reassuring because they handle all the necessary follow-ups. I strongly recommend relying on experts for crucial applications rather than depending solely on your own judgment.
We had the pleasure of assisting this client with their previous study permit extension and this PGWP application. The extended average processing times understandably caused them concern. Although our multiple inquiries to IRCC were met with responses to continue waiting as the application was still under review, the client remained patient. Ultimately, the application was successfully approved without any requests for additional documents or follow-up questions. We sincerely appreciate their patience and cooperation throughout this process.
