For international students, the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) is the key to transitioning from student life to building a career in Canada. But what happens when that crucial application is refused, and you’re told there’s no way to re-apply?
At Verge Immigration, we believe every deserving case deserves a fighting chance. We recently had the privilege of helping a client, who had invested over $100,000 and four years of their life in a Canadian education, overcome a seemingly insurmountable challenge.
The Problem: A Refusal with No Way Out
Our client’s initial PGWP application was refused because they didn’t meet a key eligibility requirement of the program. To make matters worse, the refusal came after 180 days, a deadline that typically means a re-application is impossible from inside or outside Canada. The original application lacked crucial context and supporting documents, leaving the client in a state of despair.
Our Solution: A Strategy Built on Facts, Not Emotion
The client reached out to us, and we immediately saw a path forward. Unlike other firms that might shy away from such a difficult case or rely on emotional appeals, our team, led by Mr. Jatinder, is committed to a strategy-first, law-based approach.
We worked quickly and efficiently, knowing that time was of the essence. Within just two days, we had a new, detailed letter prepared. This letter was not a plea for leniency; it was a precise, well-structured document citing legal precedents to make a compelling argument to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Our goal was to build a case so strong that, even if it were refused again, the client would have solid grounds for a Judicial Review.
The Outcome: A Well-Deserved Approval
Our faith in a fact-based approach paid off. An IRCC officer reviewed the new application and, as we hoped, approved the Post-Graduation Work Permit. The client, who had been told their application was a lost cause, received a 3-year PGWP in just 1.5 months. This approval saved their four-year investment and gave them the opportunity to start their career and build a life in Canada.
What Our Client Says:
This success story is best told through our client’s own words, who left us this incredible review:
“I had an excellent experience working with Mr. Jatinder and his staff. They are extremely professional, proactive, and keep you well-informed throughout the process… they were the only ones who encouraged me to stick to facts and laws, rather than hiding details or sugarcoating my situation for IRCC officers.“
“Their pricing and timeline were the most reasonable and student-friendly… I received my approved 3-year PGWP in 1.5 months. Even after the process was complete, they followed up to ensure everything was in order.”
This is what keeps us going at Verge Immigration. We specialize in solving complex legal problems for our clients, providing hope and a clear path forward when all seems lost.
