That's what even I wonder .. how it got updated on Sunday? Then I've called CIC and they said it's just a glitch happens all the time, need not to worry about it.
I hope the best for you! keep updates, please!

First of all, Congrats! Btw did you apply for visitor visa before your PGWP expired?

Ohh with what status did you stay in Canada after PGWP expiration before you applied OWP in December?
My status was expired and I was preparing for my spousal file and was within the restoration period and I was also eligible for pilot owp. The restoration date then was extended from Dec 31, 2020 to August 31, 2021.

I don't have any idea what they going to do with that tbh.
They will probably cancel the application because you already have an approved OWP ....Congrats !! I applied on Feb 5th and no updates, fingers crossed!
