Did you contact Kent Hehr??? I sent an email to him but no answer.

No, I contacted Michelle Rempel's office.
 
Looks like many people got their permits approved in the past two days. Congrats everyone!

Here is my timeline:
Applied: May 15th (Full amount paid)
Blank Update: Monthly
PGWP Approval: November 13th (183 days)

This thread has been helping me stay positive and hopeful. I greatly appreciate the information provided by my fellow PGWP applicants. Wish you all the best in life!

YQ,

We are sorry to hear that. Let us know the exact city/town that you were living in within Canada at the time of your application. I'm sure Members on this forum will pitch in with valuable info. There must be some one who applied but lives in that same area. Members here will let you know your MP quickly. Stay positive and remember you are not alone.

Cheers!
 
My status has changed from submitted to updated and approved and back to submitted this morning... It drives me crazy...i am a July 25 applicant. Does anybody have this experience before?

Thnx

May 2nd applicant here, my online status still shows "Submitted" and "Open", although my MP was able to confirm my application has been approved (she gave me a documentation number, I suspect that's my work permit number). Yet, online status failed to reflect this, and I'm simply still waiting...

You'll need to look up your MP's contact details (just use google search using your Canadian address); all my correspondence with the MP's office was via email, so it wouldn't matter if you're overseas or not.
 
Hi Guys! This is regarding TRV

Do you guys think it is a good idea to apply for TRV through paper application or online? The paper application is taking less time... I have to fly on 17th of December and I am yet to receive my PGWP in the mail (it has been approved on 12th)

I have usually applied for my TRV through paper application... can someone tell me how does the online one work? How long after they request for the passport do they send it back?

Any input will be really appreciated! Thankss

And good luck to all still waiting for their PGWPs.. dont lose hope :)

Dear annie980,
According to CIC paper application takes 11 days and online takes 17 days (???). But I don't trust CIC cause I applied online for TRV on October 16th and I am still waiting. If you decide to fly on Dec 17th, it will be tough cause the PGWP will be mailed within 1 week and TRV will take more time than it appears on CIC website. So at this time, paper seems ok for you! good luck
