checking every day for an update. my biggest fear is getting rejected specially due to how many things i got going on (invalid study permit, expired may 30, applied for pgwp on june 11th + paid restoration of status attached receipt $350 to pgwp application). passport expires in nov this year but sent a webform of my new passport that expires in 2028 on sept 9th. so worried

studied a bachelor in cis for like $126k spent. built a 7 year long relationship with a girl here and planning to marry her. hope i dont get rejected...

How long does it take on average to receive the work permit in mail after approved status?

I submitted the 24th of May, I called them today, they said still in process, and just wait. it's been exactly 136 days now, less than 141 to start a web forum. The stress is killing me!

Do you know the office processing your application?
I heard most delays comes from the CPC Edmonton office. Does anyone has their email address?
