I applied for PGWP on Mar 18.
Got an update email on May 27 and nothing changed.
Got a new message on May 28 and it was a request letter for $100 permit holder fee, uploaded the receipt that night.
Got another update May 29 and the permit is approved.

Update is actually good news which means they are working on your application.
Thanks Schweinlet for sharing. That was so kind of you. Congratulations! Enjoy your summer.

Nothing new on my side. But I have applied March 23.

Did you get an update email from CIC? (When you get an email but see nothing changed?)

I wrote them server letters indicate my situation, and they NEVER reply( through case special enquiry). And I called them more than 5 times, every time they just ask me to wait. I almost lost my job, shit!

Yes, i have received message on my MYCIC account on 24th of May to deposit 100$ extra for my Postgrad work permit application. They gave me 7 days to deposit the fee, and i did it on the same day.
But since then, its a complete silence from their side. My application status is still open, and i am also wondering why they are taking this long. I submitted my application on 11 March, and now on their website its showing that they are processing application submitted on 13th March. Which means the 11 March should be done. I am planning to call or email them for this now....:(

Thank you for sharing your timeline. It gives us an idea of day counts and what to expect. There is progress and I think that once they ask for the $100 for OWPH then its good news. I'm sure your PGWP is going to be mailed soon. Check your postage end of today or next week.

Cheers!

No updates as for me, its 83 days since I submit my application. I called them this morning, and they said its in normal processing times, you can always count up to 10 days even if they said they are processing on your application days.

One very responsible visa officer?

Same case with me, applied PGWP on 11th March, submitted additional fee of 100$ on 201th May. But no update on MY account , status is still open. I called call center, talked with the agent and got an annoying answer.."ITS IN PROCESS". Donot know, how much more i have to wait... :(
