Update guys:
Work permit has been approved just now for 3 years but no update or message received.
Application date: June 4 from Saskatchewan.

Good luck everyone. God bless you.
Don't trust emails or messages lol.
They're always late from IRCC. It's better to login and check sometimes.

Finally approved!
Applied June 1st, approved October 26. Eligibility review took about 2 hours.
No biometrics, unofficial transcript, Toronto.

3 years of PGWP for 16 months Masters program.
Original program length was 24 months, but I took extra classes and finished early. Not sure if they went by the original program length rule or the 16-months Masters rule.

Good luck everyone!

Hi anyone from late may waiting still ?
I’m still waiting. May23th. Have contacted them, they said every case is individual, as long as it doesn’t take longer than estimated processing time on website, it is normal. Nothing we can do but just wait.

Yoohoo!
Two applications submitted on June 5th: PGWP for me and SWP for my partner.
Today, I received a letter confirming validity of my biometrics around noon (I gave them in 2016). My partner didn't have biometrics.
Just now both applications got approved for 3 years.
Sooooo relieved... I hope everyone else on this forum gets their approval as soon as possible :))))
