Hi Guys,

I applied PGWP (online) on 28th May. Got approval on 23rd July (3 years). But haven't received the hard copy by mail yet. Anybody else in the same boat? Can you share your timeline ? Thanks!

@maxi700 mine was approved July 11th and nothing in the mail yet. I have tried calling CIC over and over and can't get through. Did you receive yours???

Hey guys,

My PGWP just got approved last week and I'm just wondering if it's fine to apply for my Temporary Resident Visa before my actual permit arrive? Help please.

No. You need to submit a copy of your PGWP in order to apply for a TRV

Oh, thanks for responding! Anyone knows how long does it take for them to mail them?

@winev I assume it's just the regular mailing time with Canada Post. That being said, it's been 7 days plus and I'm still waiting for my replacement copy and it was only being sent to Vancouver. Canada Post lost my original copy and it was never delivered so I'm afraid it might happen again.

Any idea what can we do from here to contact CIC? Further you can contact us on my wife's id in case you get any update.

I applied July 4, still waiting (67days).
I tried to get OWP on the border July 17, but the officer said that since I have already applied online, there is no reason for him to give me OWP and I need to wait. He even wrote on my WP, that I'm on implied status. I tried to explain that no one will hire me with implied status, but this argument did not work.

Did you apply with a spouse? My application was submitted june 15th. I called them today, no concrete info about reason for delays, the agent only said they will send a reminder to processing officer
