PGWP APPROVED (INLAND). TIMELINE:

Application date: 5th May 2022
Eligibility review started: 30th August 2022
Application approved: 31st August 2022

I had 1 semester part-time from Jan 2020-April 2020.
I submitted a letter of explanation with the truth explaining my situation.

Edit: To apply for my TRV from within Canada, do I use GCKEY or the IRCC portal?
did you send any webforms?

I applied for PGWP on Jan 31 and unfortunately my application on gckey portal is still pending. Its been very long now and I am bit worried of what happened to my application. Anyone have solution to this problem or faced similar problem. I tried calling them, no one pick up and I tried filling up webform and no one replies to that as well. Please any help is appreciated.

Hi everyone! My timeline:
Initial PGWP app: May 6
WP-EXT doc: May 7
Approval: Aug 31

If you applied the first week of May, you should be hearing back from them this week. This thread helped me gauge processing times so I hope this update helps. Cheers!
i also applied may 6 yet to receive any update when did eligibility review start

You can apply for GCMS notes to see if there has been any progress with your application.

Anyone know if we need to wait for the physical PGWP to arrive before we apply for a TRV? Also any idea how to apply for OHIP with PGWP? Any insight appreciated

We don't know the volume of PGWP applications filed during the month of May. But to give you an idea of their pace, yesterday they approved May 5th applicants and today I can see an approval for May 6th. So probably in 2-3 weeks from now they'll get to you.
