Any update on people who applied for pgwp under new policy on January 27th 2021 and didn't received any notifications yet? I've applied on 27th and till date no response from CIC. I'm seeing alot of people in this forum, who applied around February 1st week getting approvals. I don't know what's going on with the applications who applied on January 27th !!
Any updates?

Has anyone with ONE YEAR PGWP received their extension under the PUBLIC POLICY yet?

If yes, please reply it is urgent! Also, if yes, for how long was it extended?

Thank you so much for the reply! I was getting anxious if they were only approving people who had 3 year permits!

If you don’t mind, can you share your details?
When you applied?
When it was received?

Thank you!
work permit expired in december 2020
applied for visitor record before it expired

submitted new work permit on 1st of Feb 2021

received work permit approval on 21stof Feb 2021

Also, does anyone who meets the requirements needs to prove that he was impacted by the pandemic ?
You are eligibile to apply when you have less than 4 months on pgwp, you need a letter stating that you are applying this work permit under new public policy, including that your work was affected by pandemic is optional

thanks for your reply! My PGWP expires on Aug 20/21 so I should be able to apply on April 21.
I got affected by the pandemic but nothing major, any ideia if they can refuse it for that reason ?
Or there is no refusal if you meet those requirements?
