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.
Did you get the message under the message section on the same day or after a day?

HI Everyone. I applied for TRV after my PGWP approval. PGWP expires in june 2021 but they gave me TRV only for 1 year.

I assumed TRV would be of the same duration as my PGWP even though my passport expires 2023. Any similar experiences? Is it a mistake from CIC?
Thanks in advance

Hi, Just wanted to share my experience... I applied for a PGWP online July 27, 2018... since then until August 14, 2018, no update. I decided to go to the border instead (North Dakota Border), I was able to get a PGWP after 2hours.

I applied on June and still waiting. My friend did flagpole like you did and get the pgwp in 1 hour.
