Is there any instance where the eligibility review period takes 2 days or more?
Not sure. I applied on September 1 and my eligibility review started on December 1. I got the biometrics validity letter on December 1 as well. Eligibility is still under review. I was expecting their decision today. Not sure how much more time they're going to take.

Hi, I applied for my pgwp on October 16. I am really stressed out as I took my both summer off. Will it create any problem in my work permit?
