Do I need to also apply for Temporary Resident Visa extension or does my work permit comes with it? Anyone with a clue?

Received document: May 11
Status updated: June 25.
approved today: June 26.
not get confirmed email yet.

Honestly, the processing speed for my application beyond my expectation. I didn't know it's so fast.

I viewed some replies posted last year. Most of the people submitted on May 11 were approved around July 11.

By the way, I also know some people submitted on April 30 are still waiting.

Be patient.

Thank you for all the answers. I changed my address after submitting pgwp application. I put a Toronto Address on my application and I need someone to get the work permit paper for me. I am wondering approximately how long will it take for mailing from CIC processing office vegreville Alberta to Toronto?

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

Applied: May 12th
Update for review: June 26th
Final decision: June 27th - APPROVED!
- No email yet. It’s just on the summary box.

Hang in there! When I applied, the processing time was shorter and I did expect a decision on June 26th. Good luck everyone. I will update when I receive my permit.

Congrats bro! Mine application is accepted yesterday too. I am wondering did u end up changing your address waiting for approval. I am in the same boat. I changed my address while awaiting for decisions. I am concerned I might lost the physical copy since it is sent to my old mailbox which no longer belong to me. Do you have any advice? Thank you!

Hey, I never actually did it. I just asked my old roommates to watch out for it and receive it for me. I just told my old roommate that I got my approval today. She was a May 5th applicant, and she said she got hers in 2-3 days. So I’m expecting her to text me when it has arrived soon.
We were all international students so they knew the struggle.

Good luck though. Sorry I wish I could’ve given you a straight answer. But try to check in on your old place once you have your approval? Talk to the current tenants and tell them your situation.

Thank you for the kind reply. Mine PGWP application is approved yesterday. I am not sure how long it take from alberta to ontario(I live in Toronto). Which province you are in? Thank you~
