PGWP Refusal
Hi everyone! I’m in a big problem since my pgwp application got refused on May 17, 2026. I didn’t get a mail, I got to know when I checked the gckey.
My study permit was valid until March 30, 2025 which was before I finish my course. Then I applied for Study permit extension on March and was on ‘implied’ status.
So, I completed my study on 18th April 2025 and got Letter of Completion (LOC) on May 10.
I didn’t apply for pgwp since I had no valid study permit. I was just waiting for the study permit extension to be approved so that I could apply for pgwp. After long waiting I finally got it approved on August 29th, 2025. Without any further delay I applied for the PGWP with my valid study permit which was valid till September 30, 2025.
IRCC refused my application saying I didn’t apply in 90 days period and didn’t request or provide applicable fees for restoration which I was unaware of. I had raised a web form before my final decision was made explaining all my situations. However, they refused the application.
So, I want to ask if I have any chances to get my application approved. I feel completely devastated and lost at the moment. I came here with dreams, hope, and sacrifices.
If you have any experience or have knowledge about this please help me out.
Thank you so much.
