I got approval on my pgwp but I haven’t received any email or message that states for how long is the duration of the permit.
It should be on the message that you got on your account under the Document sstatus title. Read it carefully and you will see it.

There is only two messages- confirmation and submission. No other message. However, the final decision says it was approved. Does it mean it can be refused?

Above the message session, there is a title: Document Status which list the status updated date and the expired date. i think they cant change the status unless they find out something cheating. Dont overthinking, LOL.

Don't overthink lol. Approval is approval. You will get email & message after 1 day. The validity is under document status. You will either see 2019/2020/2021. Let me know if it works.

You did not get anything in the email and when did u apply?
I got no email and nothing under messages in my cic account. They starting reviewing today and then approval in a few hours. I have applied for TRV as well since I’m out of Canada now but no answer for that. I just can see the document status. No message no email.

Just reading your messages. Congratulations to everyone that received a confirmation of PGWP.
I've applied on June 24 (incl my husband and daughter on the application).
Still haven't heard back

No update to the status of my application.

My original study visa was valid until January 2019 and my SIN expires on the same date. I currently work in a job cat NOC B, full time hours. This job was used to apply for my husband's visa extension based on my pgwp application.

Since I am still waiting for the approval... Can I change my job? I have an offer from another company, but do not have my pgwp approved yet... Any experience or thoughts from anyone
