Case type · Post-Graduation Work Permit
PGWP cases with the 180-day clock you cannot miss.
IRCC rules around PGWP eligibility tightened in 2024-2025. AnyImmi encodes the field-of-study list, the 180-day application window, and the DLI eligibility checks so nothing slips past.

Where this pathway loses time
The three things that actually slow this down.
The 180-day window
Students must apply within 180 days of getting final grades. Miss it and the pathway closes. AnyImmi starts the clock on graduation letter upload and alerts at 30/60/90 days out.
Field-of-study eligibility (post Nov 2024)
New rules limit PGWP to specific programs. AnyImmi's program + DLI database pre-flags ineligible combinations before you quote the client.
Study permit validity mismatch
If the study permit expires during the PGWP application window, the client needs a restoration or visitor record first. AnyImmi branches the workflow automatically.
Typical case timeline
From intake to decision, instrumented end-to-end.
Weeks are indicative. Real cases vary with visa office, biometrics collection, and medicals. AnyImmi tracks each milestone against your firm's historical baseline.

From the field
The 180-day alert fired 42 days out for a student we'd forgotten — she'd gone home and wasn't reading email. We reached her on WhatsApp and filed with 6 days to spare.
