My sister applied for PGWP one day before I did (mid-May). Her eligibility review started two days before mine, but I got approval and she hasn't. She's been in eligibility review for two weeks now. Should this be a concern?

Looks like the processing is again put on backburner. As far as I see none of PGWP + SOWP decision is reported in last about a month on Forum. :(
Raised about six web forms for my pending TRV and PGWP+SOWP but none was replied to.
I applied pgwp+sowp on 13th May. Haven’t heard anything yet. My friend applied pgwp on 13th and received, her husband’s file was lodged seperately on May 27th and he had received too.

No approval reported in last few days. Seems to be as if they have stopped processing completely. This is so depressing. Tried calling IRCC, no luck. Its so terrible.
This is terrible. I wonder when they will start June applicants. Processing time keeps rising. Currently at 169 days.

After 3 hours in queue my partner was able to speak to an IRCC agent that submitted an escalation for our application.

Applied PGWP and SOWP: May 6

Call to IRCC: Oct 27 (174 days) escalation was made.
Did you try to call them? Your case is exceeded the current processing time.
Yes :D
