Hi this is my timeline:
Online application
Applied on Jan. 13th
Approved on Mar. 21st with 3 years
Waiting for the hard copy now...
Actually I didnt provide the hard copy of my study permit extension when I apply for the pgwp (SP extension was approved in August 2015, but I received it on Mar. 3rd, 2016 cuz of online system's error. I called the cic agent on Nov. 2nd 2015, even though they helped me send an email to visa office, it still took 4 months to get a SP which was already invalid.... I have already graduated for 4 months) Yes, I applied pgwp with an explanation letter whithin 90 days.
Something I heard about pgwp application:
1. There is a guy who applied by paper on Jan 19th and got approval on Feb. 18th or Feb 19th. (maybe paper application is faster?
2. 4 guys who finished 1800 hours dep program in Montreal went for border application, however they only got 1.5 years pgwp cuz the officer thought they only took 15 months to finish the program. (Sometimes the length of pgwp is depending on officers?
3. My friend got pgwp only for 10 months, yes, valid until this Oct. cuz he forgot his passport is going to be invalid. After he got his new passport and wanted to renew his pgwp in border, he was refused.
Good luck
