Anyone else having trouble opening their application right now?

Hi guys, my application approved on 9th oct. so I need to upload my pgwp in my husband's wp extension. Does it help to fast processing of my husband application. Applied on july 23.

I don't think so. But you have to do it!

Does anyone have any information on the TRV after the PGWP gets approved? What's the process in terms of after you get approved when you can leave Canada again? When I submitted my PGWP application, I think I also submitted a TRV one at the same time. Also, I assume they mail you the permit, does anyone know how long that takes?

So after you receive the hardcopy of your work permit then you can apply for TRV (as you have to upload the scanned work permit).
You have to make the application just like you did for work permit on the CIC site.
Once you apply after uploading all the information and paying fee, they will send you an email for passport request.
Then you send your passport and get it stamped with multiple entry visa. This takes a few weeks(a friend of mine got it in 3).
Once you receive your passport you can fly

If your application just changed to "eligibility review started". It just takes a few minutes for officer to enter date, issue WP.
Basically that's what happens. In rare cases does that get delayed.

So if you see your status changing, expect approval soon

Thanks!! Do you happen to know how long it takes for them to mail you the permit after it's been approved online?

Will there be any update during weekend? Or only can expect updates on week days?

I think they work on Saturdays too, so you might get one. People have been getting updates on Saturdays.

It'll go well I'm sure! And of course I know waiting is the worst thing ever and we've all been waiting so much longer than anyone would've expected.
