After getting PGWP, do we need to update Visa on our passports? Because it is mentioned as student and expires on when my study permit ends.

One more , I applied PGWP on Sept 8th,hope currently Sept 2nd files are processing. I think I need to wait for more a week. please correct If I am wrong?
Don't know about the first bit as I am from the UK, but the processing time it seems is very hard to judge. I thought I would have had mine before I got it today. so I don't think anyone can give you a proper answer to that I'm afraid

Quick question, is the SIN we were given upon entry valid or do we need to apply for a new one now that we have our PGWP?

Applied on: Aug 28
Submission confirmation on: Aug 29
Approved on: Oct 28

Btw, I have not received any email from CIC website yet. I just logged in to check my application status and saw that it's approved. I'll probably receive an email soon. Good luck everyone with your applications.
How long did it take for the message to arrive in your account. Got approved yesterday, still not got a message

Did she apply online or on paper. The processing times are different for both

Hi all, I want to know how to apply for work permit. I checked in my account but couldn't find it.

I also need to know what documents are required for it?

Thank you,
Natasha
