Post Graduate Work Permit APPROVED!!!



So I submitted my application on 29th April and I got the temporal work permit 24 hours later, my application was approved just yesterday. Hang on, yours will come soon.

Just so you know, a friend of mine applied a day after me which is 30th April and he got his on 16th May and we all used the same documents because we went to the same school. So am guessing the time of processing depends on the officer working on your file.

Good luck to all those waiting.

From what it seems Officers are being slow, where you apply from doesn’t matter, files get sent to different officers and seems like some are slow.

My current status changed from SUBMITTED to APPLICATION/PROFILE UPDATED.
Does this mean they are reviewing my file or is it updated because I called IRCC today and asked about the status of my application?

EDITED -
Weird, It changed back to SUBMITTED.
It's happened to me before, sometimes it just means its going to the next stage of the application process, or it could just be IRCC being shitty.

Can someone let me know what's the next stage after getting PGWP approval? Should we mail our passport to IRCC?
So far, I haven't received any mail from IRCC. Not even an approval mail from them. It just reads as APPROVED in my account.

Hi,
You have to wait until we send you a written confirmation on your portal. Then you will receive your PGWP by mail. It can take up to six weeks for the paper version to arrive in your mailbox.
I got mine in less than a week, so you just have to be patient :)
