Hi everyone, I’m new to this forum but it’s good to see everyone’s updates! I guess I can share my status:

Nothing. Zero. Nada.
I’m concerned that my application might be refused. There’s one issue that’s been bugging me since I submitted the application.
You see, I graduated my post secondary in Canada in April 2020, and I managed to submit my PGWP application in June. I was able to get a full-time shift in a workplace I used to work part-time. I didn’t get my work permit until October, but I was able to work full-time under implied status according to this link (
https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1181).
I made my EE profile in June the following year, which is exactly 1 year of working full-time, but it’s
not 1 year from “actually getting” the work permit. It was a risky gambit that I made, but I’m wondering if this would cause any trouble. I couldn’t afford to wait much longer out of fear that the CRS score would inevitably soar and I’d lose my opportunity.
I don’t know if I screwed it up or I’m just overthinking due to anxiety. If anyone can shed some light on this, I’d appreciate it.
Thanks for listening to my long rambling, and congrats to those who got their portal/COPR, and best of luck to those who are waiting to get theirs soon! Cheers.
