Hi, long time lurker here. I applied for the PGWP extension under public policy on March 24 2021 and the application is still in process somehow after 6 months. Called multiple times, did a document check and representatives confirmed they have everything they need and my application will be approved any day now. Does anyone have any experience with getting their MP to assist with an application? I've sent a few web forms with no response and I'm struggling to think of anything else I can do to speed up the process. Any advice would be greatly appreciated :)

Need help ! July 27th here, need help to see there is update in my application

Application status

We are processing your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you.

Review of eligibility - Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start reviewing your eligibility.

Review of medical results - You do not need a medical exam. We will send you a message if this changes.

Review of additional documents - We do not need additional documents.

Interview- You do not need an interview. We will send you a message if this changes.

Biometrics - We do not need your fingerprints. We will send you a message if this changes.

Background check - Not applicable.

Final decision- Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made.

I feel like application status was before we will send a msg when eligibility review starts or something like that... and the medical and background check and biometrics it was something like we will send you msg if we need medical or background check etc?

Please let me know if it is same for you guys so that I can chill out !

My pr application is in process and so far I have received my application number.
Applied for an extension of my wp on July 25, 2021 because my current pgwp is expiring in less than 2 months, on Nov 22, 2021.
Does anyone know if I have to leave the country once my current wp expires or can I stay until they make a decision on my wp application?

Thank you!

You do not need to leave the country until and unless you get any update. After expiring of your work permit, you will be on implied status and will be able to stay as well as work.
