🚨 Atención estudiantes internacionales en Canadá 🇨🇦
IRCC anunció que realizará cambios en el portal de solicitud del PGWP (Post-Graduation Work Permit) luego de que cientos de estudiantes vieran sus aplicaciones rechazadas por no adjuntar los resultados de la prueba de idioma.
El problema surgió porque, aunque el requisito de idioma comenzó a aplicar desde noviembre de 2024, el sistema nunca agregó un campo específico para subir este documento. Esto generó confusión entre muchos aplicantes, quienes pensaron que no era obligatorio incluirlo.
Ahora, IRCC confirmó que está trabajando en una actualización del portal para evitar más errores y rechazos innecesarios.
⚠️ Mientras el cambio se implementa:
• Los resultados de idioma siguen siendo obligatorios
• Deben subirse manualmente en la sección “Client Information”
• Si faltan documentos, algunos casos podrían corregirse mediante webform
• Quienes ya fueron rechazados podrían necesitar reaplicar o solicitar reconsideración dependiendo de su estatus
Este cambio podría impactar directamente a miles de futuros graduados internacionales en Canadá.

... Read moreAs an international student who has recently navigated the PGWP application process, I understand firsthand how crucial it is to be aware of all document requirements, especially with the new language test submission mandate starting November 2024. Many students were caught off guard because the application portal didn’t initially have a specific section to upload language test results, which led to application rejections.
From my experience, the best approach while IRCC updates the system is to manually upload your language test results in the “Client Information” section, even though it may feel unintuitive. This proactive step can prevent delays or rejections. Additionally, if your application was rejected due to missing language documentation, you might still have options such as submitting a webform to correct your case or reapplying, depending on your status.
It’s worth noting that language proficiency is a vital part of Canada’s post-graduate work permit requirements, reflecting the emphasis on integration and employment readiness. To avoid complications, make sure to prepare your language test reports early, confirm the accepted language tests by IRCC, and keep copies of all submissions.
I also recommend connecting with student groups or immigration forums where others share up-to-date tips on applying for the PGWP. This community support can be invaluable during transitional periods when portal updates are underway.
Finally, while the IRCC’s update aims to reduce errors and simplify the process, students should remain vigilant and double-check that all mandatory documents, especially language test results, are attached before submission. Clear preparation can save time, prevent stress, and ensure your pathway to working in Canada after graduation remains smooth and successful.
