Are you currently waiting for your PGWP application?

Did you submit your PGWP application before May 28, 2026? You may wish to consider taking action regarding your application.
If you uploaded your language test results to the ‘Client Information’ section of the IRCC application portal before the portal was updated to include proof of language proficiency under 'Optional Documents', consider submitting your language test results again through an IRCC web form. Some applicants have experienced refusals due to missing language test results, even though the results were previously submitted in the ‘Client Information’ section. To reduce the risk of a refusal on this basis, it is advisable to submit an IRCC web form with the language test results.

Have questions or need assistance? Please connect with an ISA at the QUIC.
