Do we get actual work permit document on mail? is it automatic or do we have to request it?

Approved for 3 years on 01/31/2022. Best of luck, for ones who are waiting.

Applied: 26th September, Inland- Toronto, ON, Review started- 01/29/2022 around late evening

You don't need it

I did that, and mine was even more crazy. Exact same situation, with course completion on 20th of August 2021, study permit and try both expires 30th September. Landed in Canada - 17th September and applied inland PGWP on 20th September. Send me a personal message if you need more information...

Congrats! Thanks for the update. Seems they are moving at a required pace now.

My personal suggestion would have been applying for PGWP before your study permit expired and later when you received your letter attach it to your existing application. That would have given you an implied status, allowing you to start a full time job. But that ship sailed.

I do feel you are overthinking the situation. I agree with the immigration advisor here, you should just avoid mentioning it, you are not lying in any case, it is just not speaking about an issue if you don't recollect it (since you mentioned that it was during the very initial period). If they...

I second that! My employer never asked for such a document, as soon as I mentioned that I have applied for PGWP, they asked for the documents used for the application and knew what is implied/maintained status. News: Government allotted approximately 35 million CAD for clearing the 1.5+ million...

I just strongly hope and wish that the rapid increase in covid cases does not slow it down even moreo_O

Not claiming to an expert on the matter but recently PM Trudeau wrote a letter to IRCC to prioritize applications (multiple news article available on google). So, if everything goes well there could be significant changes (in terms of speed) post holidays. Looks like you guys have planned well...

This is a very sad state of affairs. I guess this is more prominent due to the delays, anyone has an idea what were the average processing time before COVID?

Nope, there is no need to secure a job for a PGWP application. It only requires you to complete a full-time diploma/degree in any DLI (and not violating any terms in your study permit).

I know about the process and want to be calm about the time being taken currently, but my manager seems to be getting annoyed at this point because I can't provide a non-expired SIN before my PGWP arrives. I handle sensitive information at work and lot of applications and software package that I...
