I spoke to CIC agent today and they they are processing April 25th applications. I applied on May 3rd. So let’s wait
The agent you spoke to must have pulled up the website (which is accessible by anyone and everyone) and quoted you that they are processing "25 April, 2019" applications.

Hi everyone! I have applied for PGWP on June 20, and processing times keep extending, so I guess I shouldn't be expecting it for a while...

I have a question: What if my address changes after September 29th? How do I change my address if an online application has already been submitted with my current address?

Hello everybody. I have a question about SIN number. My SIN number is about to expire. I don't think I will get my PGWP soon. I went to Service Canada yesterday and they told me they won't extend my SIN until I receive my PGWP. I called the CIC today and the agent I spoke told me they don't know about SIN numbers and I have to go to Service Canada which I already did. So the question is can we work with an expired SIN or what we should do to extend it until we get s decision about our PGWP application??? Note: I work full time at the moment.

to the best of my knowledge (from people I've seen around me) you can't renew your SIN till you get your PGWP. You will be on implied status once your study permit expires (along with your SIN) so you should be good to work till you get your PGWP and can renew your SIN. Hope this helps, like I said, this is what I know from the number of people that have gone through the same process in the past.

I confirm. Applied May 21st, got, Study Permit and SIN expired on July 30th, so technically I am "implied status" (waiting for review), once pgwp I can renew my SIN. Currently working, but afraid my kids will not be able to start school if the pgwp decision takes so long.
