Did anyone receive a work permit applied on or after February 13, 2020?
Well, according to this guy here:
Applied Feb 14
Approved May 5

Approved for 3 years.

Best of luck everyone!

They should be processing applications around that time.. Assuming that application timelines are accurate and the same for all applicants.

The processing times were 3-4 months BEFORE the pandemic, so don't expect anything soon.
@canuck_in_uk Hi, is there a thread for 2020 PGWP applicants where I can be in touch with people going through similar situation? My friend's cousin applied for her PGWP on Feb 26, 2020 , got a biometrics request in March 2020 but then no movement after that. Not sure if this is normal as it is August 2020 now? She is working full time from the day she applied for her PGWP. Hope that won't be a problem.

Tell her to send a ticket through the IRCC web form, maybe due to covid they are taking longer.

They are supposed to send it right away, 3 days by mail or tops one week, the first work permit got lost in the mail, so they approved us a new one and it arrived within a day, so If you are having delays contact them through the IRCC web form.

Hello everyone,

I am applying for an extension of my open work permit and need your input on this. I have filled the application imm5710e and have a question on the validate button in the application form. Do I need to validate the form while submitting the application online?

I don't think so. You can't hold both work permit together.

Hi Harjas1997, may I ask when did you applied for your work permit?
I applied for mine on April and just curious when can I expect to see my application approved.
