My first PGWP took 3 working days to arrive by post. Applied for extension due to passport expiration and I received the extension in 5 working days by post. I am basing my timeline from the date stamped on the permit itself and the day I receive the permit by mail.

Thanks a lot for your response. Hopefully, before end of next week I should get it.

How long did you wait after eligibility review started?

Applied on May 7,
Eligibility review started on Jun 15.
Still waiting.

I think it was less than 24hrs.

My friend who applied May 11th, his eligibility review just started.

I'm hoping to see some more people on here who have been approved from May 10th etc, so far its only been May 5th for the last 3 days apart from one May 10th. IRCC moving at a snails pace.

Just a huge influx that's all, supply , demand.
April end buncha people applied.

Please has anyone received the hard copy of the Work Permit? I would like to know how long it took.

Where do you live? Usually they're sent from Edmonton and take anywhere between 1- 10 days.

Damn! I applied on May 9th and still nothing.

Damn! I applied on May 9th and still nothing.

I think because you applied on May 9th that was a Sunday so it would've pushed it over to the Monday. Hopefully we should hear soon, I applied on May 10th but they moved it to May 11th.

I live in Ontario

I'd say 7-10 days.

One of my friends applied on May6, and nothing has happened on your application as well. Seems it has to do with the visa officers handling files. I think some of them are faster than the others

 

[Onyeomanacanada]

I'd say 7-10 days.

I need to get it ASAP

I need to get it ASAP

There's no way to expedite it.

There's no way to expedite it.

Will keep my fingers crossed

Hey I have a very quick question, do we count weekends in the processing time too?
