My spouse's visitor record got approved on 26 November but didn't get the mail yet. Maybe because of Canada post strike.

Actually we applied together from inside Canada for spouse's visitor record with my pgwp on August 17 but in between I got a job that's why I had to go to border and took mine. I withdrew my application after getting pgwp from border. It took 100 days to get approval for Visitor record for my spouse.

Hay guys, I got my work permit approval email today ..march 30th.
I studied 1 year graduate certificate and a normal trade certificate(i extended my study permit for this) and got the permit for 3 years.
My name was given twice on work permit(like steyn smith steyn smith) as i have given the name again on the last name, because i don't have a last name on passport.Do u guys know how to change name on it?Hope it won't create any problems in future
I took a 3 months break between courses and did not worked on sin.
Thank u all

As per CIC rules you can't take unofficial break if you want to be eligible for PGWP. If you still take break or already have taken break then it will up to the CIC officer to give you a PGWP or not.

GPA doesn't really matter as I don't see specific rule for that but still above 2 is always have positive effect.
