My PGWP application is sitting past 180 days from my completion letter — did I mess up?

I graduated, got my official confirmation of completion, and life got busy. I'm now past the 180-day window to apply for a PGWP. Is there any way to fix this?

    The 180-day window from your confirmation of completion is a hard eligibility requirement for the PGWP, not a soft guideline, so missing it is a serious problem — this is exactly the kind of situation where you want an RCIC or lawyer to review your specific dates and any maintained-status angle rather than guessing on a forum. General information from my own experience, not legal advice — for anything specific to your file, a licensed RCIC or immigration lawyer can look at your actual documents.

    Sorry to hear it — I'd move fast either way, the maintained-status rules only help if you applied for something before your previous status expired.
