Following this thread has been super helpful, so I decided to share;

Application type: PGWP
Location: Outside Canada
Applied: October 13
Passport request: December 7th

The confusing part; the final decision part of my application is what is the bolded msg below. Though it says, my work permit has been approved, no information on what the length of my PGWP was provided, and everyone else talks about receiving a letter not sending a passport, so I'm confused about this part. Please if anyone has any experience with this please share. Thank you

• Your application was approved. You need to send us your valid passport to finalize your application. Check your messages below for details.

If you apply outside Canada you also get a TRV which is what the passport is for. Are you checking on myCIC and sure length is not there?

You are allowed to work full time until you get pgwp result, study permit doesnt matter anymore.

But be careful some of the employers ask for valid SIN number when you start... you may need to argue with those people it is really a bummer.

A lot of employers will not hire you without the actual pgwp but its their issue not ircc issue.

That is correct ..and also a confirmation letter stating approval of pgwp which would be granted on arrival at the port of entry (persons are to give the conf. letter to the officer on arrival)..however, this letter does not state duration.
