When I applied, the processing time was 76 days, but not it is 83 days. So does my application go by the processing time when I applied, or the current processing time?

Is it true that according to new rules - if you study for 2 years, you will get a work permit for 2 years instead of 3 years?

in which province you live?
Can you please all share your province so we can verify if it depends on this criteria or not?

I have the same question. Do they still mail your visa out to your address? Can anyone confirm? If so, how long after the approval in your account will you get the actual document in your mailbox?

Once we get the PGWP, I know we have to work 1560 hours to apply for PR but are there are any restrictions other than job category 0, A or B? Do we have to work in our field of study? Do they even care? Because some people say only job category matters
