As scylla mentioned, no need to decline ita. You simply need to submit your application only after completing 12 months of valid work experience

I used my completion letter + unofficial transcript from my University's website and got my pgwp with no issues. Never submitted an official transcript after the fact

OP, i hope you're applying for a visitor record if you're in Canada and looking to change your status to visitor as opppsed to a visitor visa

No, I put the date of my pgwp. The expiration date printed on your study permit is irrelevant if you switch status from student to worker before then.

I had the same question and put the day my pgwp started. So, in my case, on the application, i put international student from XXX date until June 3 (day my pgwp was effective) and then worker from June 3 until the day I became a PR. Had no issues.

It's normal! Mine was available 2 business days after

I think you'll be fine. I had the same thing happen to me. My pickup date was yesterday and my application was only marked as approved the morning of the pickup date. When i collected my passport, i saw that it was printed the day before.

Wanted to share that I finally picked up my passport today! No surprise, got the new design. Was a fairly smooth pickup process (10ish minute wait) and thankfully no errors (someone ahead of me in the pickup line was told they had to resubmit since there was an error which I thought was absurd)...

What're the odds!??! I was there around 7:20ish!! We probably saw each other then lol Hopefully you get it tomorrow with no issues

I got there around 7:20ish a.m. and was the 16th person in line. We got let into the building around 8:20ish and i saw an agent by 8:35. Had to get my photos redone though but the lady was kind enough to let me go and get them retaken at a store nearby and skip the line once I returned. Was out...

As an update - applied for my passport today in person at the Victoria Street office in Toronto. Must say, the office is very effecient and organized.

Got my e-certificate a few minutes ago! Will be applying in-person for my passport later this week!

Oh wow! That is unbelievably quick to get your certificate! Are you going to mail-in your passport application or go in-person?

Glad to hear!! Must be good to finally be Canadian!

Thank youuu!!! All the best tomorrow in yours! Let us know how you find it. And wow, similar situations! I'm really hoping for a smooth e-certificate and passport experinece for us both but will keep everyone posted. Provide updates as well!
