PGWP reconsideration Timeline
Hi everyone,
I want to share my journey
My Timeline:
• February 10, 2026 — Applied for PGWP
• April 17, 2026 — Refused(missing IELTS)
• April 18, 2026 — Filed reconsideration
• May 11, 2026 — Also filed Restoration + new PGWP as backup
• Contacted MP offices
• July 2, 2026 — Status changed from Refused to Submitted
• July 3, 2026 — APPROVED ✅
What helped me:
• Filing reconsideration immediately with strong evidence
• Contacting MP offices — they followed up multiple times
• Filing restoration as a safety net
• Never giving up — even when it felt impossible
Pro Tip: Apply Restoration because they don’t really see reconsideration I first got update on new pgwp + restoration then on my initial application.
To everyone still waiting — please don’t lose hope. It feels like forever, but your approval is coming. Keep following up, contact your MP, file restoration if you haven’t already.
Do your prayers. Stay patient. It WILL happen.
Sending prayers and positive energy to everyone still waiting. You’ve got this! 🙏🇨🇦
