The PGWP processing time can take anywhere from around 80 to 141 days. Candidates can seek employment in the country while waiting to process the work permit, provided they have applied for it before the expiration of their study permit. A period of 180 days is allotted to the candidates for the PGWP post-graduating, and the work permit can also be used from outside the country that would need additional requirements.
