I experienced that once. The exact same situation as you. I think that means checking ur eligibility.. cuz I got approved the next day.
Thank you so much. I'm sooooo stressed out my application has been processed for 113 days and the company i'm working right now keeps giving me push asking for the work permit. Hope I can get mine by this week.....

Hi all!

Just checked this morning and it's approved! Submitted on June 8th, review starting Oct 1, and gets approved Oct 2.

Finally this torture is over, this thread keeps me positive, thank you all

Also if you happens to be in the case of uploading an outdated passport or missing some pages of visa info, which I did:

No worry, as long as the passport is the one you're currently using, then you'll be fine. I called IRCC this morning and they assured me.

Thank you everyone! I just checked my application and it's already approved :)
Now, my question is I don't see any messages under my application that gives information like when they will send the paper or like how would or where do I send my passport?

Applied :June 7
Approved: October 02

In my case, I didn't receive and notification email nor a review of eligibility note. In the morning my application turned into updated, and later to "submitted" again. In the afternoon I saw the notification of 'approved'. It was a very stressful period and I am relieved today after 117 days of waiting! Good luck all of you guys. I hope you all will get it without any trouble.

For future applicants or for others who have the same issues as me: I didn't upload the transcript during my application and I send it via webform about 1 month after my application date. Later I realized I didn't add a page of my passport and I submitted it via web form as well.

Hey guys!
How long does it take for them to get the Webform and to make changes?
I need to change my address and I applied on June 21, do you think I still have time to change my address?
Or should I just have them mail it to the old one?

Hi guys,

I didn't got any message on my account about instruction on how to submit passport for visa stamping (PGWP) Does PGWP have an approval letter (PDF) that I can use before I received the paper work permit? I haven't got any email after my approval yesterday

Work permit is different from work visa. You just need to wait until the government mail it to you, which takes 1-2 weeks. Once you get your PGWP, then apply work visa.

Hi All, I have submitted my application on May 16th but still no updates. Its really making me nervous as they have started processing the applications which were submitted a month after me.
