This afternoon my Review of eligibility changed into "We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements." and Background check changed into "Not Applicable". How long it might take to get the decision? I applied PGWP on March 16.

Wow March 16. Do you mind adding your info to the spreadsheet?

I received the physical copy of my work permit today, May 22nd. That's within 7 days, which included a weekend and a stat holiday! Very fast service.

With this, I am now officially signing off from this website until I apply for my PR.

Thanks everyone and see some of you next year or whenever you'll plan to apply for your Canadian PR.

Hello, I need some help in terms of change in address, I applied for PGWP on March 8th and waiting for reply . However, I am moving to a new address, does any body knows how you shall I inform the visa officer about the change in address. I am so worried that I will be recieving the change in status or PGWP after I move out to new address that will make it so difficult to recieve my work permit in mail
