I applied to pgwp on 11 May,
Recieved the correspondence letter on 17 July, and I am still waiting for the approval, does anyone know why it takes so long as I've heard people say they normally received on the same day after receiving the correspondence letter.

I am just worried cause I worked for 3 weeks after getting my transcript but i had not applied for the pgwp. This wait has been really scary as i applied on 11th of march.
I hope the officer overlooks it.

Have you tried comparing the timelines with others? I found this new tracker specifically for PGWP, it looks like most people get it within 3-6 months but I’ve heard certain outlier cases taking much longer… https://myimmitracker.com/en/ca/trackers/post-graduation-work-permit-pgwp-tracker/. Also, this is an extension you can try dialing in order to get to the IRCC +1 (888) 242 2100 2,1,2,0
