Swift PGWP Approval Despite Previous Challenges
A client retained our firm after his initial Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) application was refused. While PGWP applications are typically straightforward, his case was complicated by a prior refusal for failing to disclose a previous denied entry to the United States, even after responding to a Procedural Fairness Letter. By the time he sought our assistance, he had graduated, left Canada, and his study permit had long expired, raising additional eligibility and timing concerns.
Our legal team conducted a thorough review of his prior applications, researched his eligibility, and assessed the implications of the previous refusal. We gathered all necessary supporting documentation and prepared a comprehensive legal submission clearly explaining his continued eligibility and addressing the prior non-disclosure issue. We also ensured that the application was submitted within the applicable eligibility window.
The application was approved in less than two weeks. We are pleased to have helped our client overcome previous setbacks and successfully obtain his PGWP.
