I applied for my PGWP on 8th October. I didn’t get any update yet. Is there anyone who applied at this time and got approval letter? I have sent online query for 2 times. But no response. They said they sent a request to visa office and they are waiting. Anyone who knows about this will be helpful for me.
Thanks

I have a question. I've applied for PGWP online last week. During my Study permit, I worked for more than 20 hours over 4 weeks across 4 months. Would that be a problem in deciding my application?

My average number of hours per week for 1.5 years would be less than 15. Just for 3 or 4 weeks, I worked for more than 20. When did you apply for work permit?

I’d say you’re likely fine ! Just pray you don’t get an overzealous officer but even then unless something else raises a red flag they likely won’t check hours worked

oh ok thanks for info

and when I will receive my paper copy at my home address.
how many days?
Usually takes 4/5 days for me whenever i appply to CIC. There’s no way to get it faster. Try to stall your employer and explain it’s approved (maybe send a screenshot) and that it’s just canada post delaying
