Hey people!

My status has changed from Submitted to Updated (but it still open and nothing has changed). Anyone know what that means? :o

That would depend on when you have submitted your application. I might be just a blank update or it might mean an officer has opened your file.

Well, considering that I applied on April, 30. I hope it means that an officer has opened my file! :'(

Same thing happened to me, and 1 day later it changed to approved.
 
Really? My status is very strange. The application system is not well-developed.... so many bugs..

My status showed 'updated' from 'submitted' on Thursday afternoon, but after I refreshed the page, it showed approved, again on clicking on it, it still said 'open' and 'not started'. A day later it changed to 'closed' and 'approved' and I got the email as well.

So yes, it is a little buggy, but it does mean they have or are close to finishing the application .
 
That's exciting! But it now gets back to submitted..... :'(

Here is my final timeline:
Applied: May 12th
Paid $100: Sept 9th (Through CSE)
Blank Update: July 27, August 1
Current Status: Approved on November 9.
Mail Delivery: November 13 (Total Waiting time 185 days).
 
Hey guys, I guess this is my last post. Mixed feelings yo lol! I got my permit mailed home yesterday.
I applied on the 11th of May, got bounced at the border (rainbow bridge) for bringing just my official transcript and now certificate (eve though my friend did the same and was granted). 6 months later I got it. I guess I just get to stay in Canada longer. Anyway, wish everyone all the best and hope you get yours by the grace of God.

Congrats!
Do u mean it was approved Saturday? Or you were noticed then
I am wondering if they work on weekends

I got the email notification, and the change on my CIC account on Saturday.
So either the process is long, or they work on the weekends ;)
 
Hey I got my PGWP accepted (yay!).
It looks like the permit does not allow you to travel.
I am currently in Toronto, what do i need to travel, and where can I apply?

Thanks!
 
Me tooo!!! I just got mine approved. But I didnt see any attached approval letter yet? Did you?
