PGWP Refused - Seeking suggestions
As the title says, Applied on December 8th, 2025 and received a rejection notification on 15th May. The officer states the reason for the refusal as applied after 90 days of program completion, calculated from August 15 as my term completion date stated on my transcripts and Graduation Letter.
Here's the catch: My program actually ended on 8th of September after an academic appeal and submitting additional coursework because I had failed a course initially due to faulty school provided hardware. On September 8 my eligibility to graduate was determined as stated on my graduation letter which was issued on 9th September, which was the first written notification of my program completion, based on which date I calculated the 90 days.
I wrote a letter of explanation along with an email thread with my academic chair proving that I was pursuing coursework into September and applied for a reconsideration request through my local MP. I am also considering going the judicial review path but it is expensive, but according to the official IRCC Operational guidelines, I did apply on time to the best of my understanding and this refusal has gotten me extremely frustrated.
Any suggestions from anyone in a similar situation or sharing your experience would be appreciated. Peace.
